About this business
Imports and supplies toys, party goods and Christmas lines to independent retailers across the north, from a leased warehouse in Newcastle. The business has traded since 2004 and runs with just 3 staff. Sales have eased from £1.08m in 2021 to £970k, and EBITDA from £115k to £103k, but the margin has held at about 11%. For £550k, the next owner acquires a long-running wholesaler with established stockists and a very lean cost base.
