business:
Sales are generated through two complementary streams: Retail and custom printing. Retail accounts for around 45% of turnover, with sales concentrated in the tourist season. This includes licensed university clothing as well as a successful in-house range of high-margin slogan t-shirts.
Custom printing represents approximately 55% of turnover, serving universities, colleges, sports clubs, schools, and businesses. This side of the operation is steady year-round, providing reliable income.
Services include t-shirt, hoodie, and sportswear printing with both small and large orders catered for.
The business benefits from a skilled and long-serving team who manage most day-to-day duties. The current owner works part-time and is seeking retirement, offering a smooth handover and consultancy support if required. Opportunities exist for new owners to expand online sales, wholesale partnerships, and new product ranges.
