About this business
A commercial fit-out firm founded in 2001, refurbishing offices, showrooms and industrial premises across Derby and the East Midlands. It owns a freehold unit used for storage and site preparation and has a team of 5 who run projects using trades they have worked with for years. Turnover has held around £1.15m since 2021, while EBITDA has moved up year by year from £56k to £86k.
