Fast-growing event stewarding business in Derby

About this business

Based in a leased city-centre office in Derby, this business provides stewards, door supervisors and search teams for venues, sports grounds and outdoor events across the East Midlands. It has 8 employees and has traded since 2021. Growth has been steady and profitable: turnover has risen every year from £159k to £240k, while EBITDA has nearly trebled, from £20k to £55k, taking the margin to about 23%. A buyer would take on a small operation whose profits have grown faster than its sales, with a city-centre base close to the venues it serves.
