BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
Skip Hire & Waste Transfer Station

Ref.CT028
Location Greater Manchester
Asking Price £ 425,000
This is a superb business opportunity for someone to aquire a growing skip hire business and waste transfer station in the Greater Manchester area, close by to the M60/M62 motorwaty network. The family run business provides a service for commercial, industrial and domestic skip hire exceeding industry standards by recycling a minimum of 10% of the waste that they collect through their fully licensed waste transfer station. They deal mainly with contractors and own all of their own vehicles – they are not brokers and have no hidden or extra costs for their customers to incurr.

The business operates from a 0.75 acre virtual freehold site (971 years lease remaining) with a waste permit and environmental license in place. The site has operated as a waste transfer station and skip hire business for the past twenty years and has been under the current ownership for the last nine years. The site on its own is a valuable piece of real estate and could easily accommodate circa six small industrial units if required.

Expansion Potential
There are a number of opportunities to grow the business from the site, including obtaining a hazardous waste license, investing in a weighbridge and creating a scrap metal business. There is also spare capacity to increase the amount of recycling which the company carries out on a daily basis
