They are currently listed in 20+ independent retailers with this area offering the greatest opportunity for brand expansion. Corporate Gifting also offers a major opportunity for growth potential.

Reason for sale - the current business owners want to focus on expanding their other business (different industry, non competing). Current Owners can work with purchasers on handover over a period of time.
