Oakhouse Foods - North Midlands & South Yorkshire
Business Overview
Step into a high-performing Oakhouse Foods territory with proven demand and efficient operations. Weekly peaks above £26,000 and a consistent top-three ranking underline its strength, while low local marketing to date leaves obvious upside for a new owner. The business was acquired as a resale in 2014 and has been refined with strong systems, a stable team and ten delivery rounds capped at 50 drops. Capacity can increase by extending driver hours rather than adding routes. Daily customer contact supports excellent retention and national TV activity continues to add new customers. Grocery remains among the top performers and purée sales are recovering well. Growth is already underway. Hospital vending machines are operating at two local hospitals and are generating about £1,000 to £1,500 per month combined. Additional machines are planned and Halal ranges will be introduced, creating a scalable new income stream that is not yet reflected in the financials. Local marketing has been minimal, which leaves clear headroom through care-home tastings, healthcare touch points, GP and pharmacy placements, community events, targeted leaflet drops, referrals and partnerships. The operation is well invested. There are four vans in good order and one has a brand-new engine. Freezers are replaced on a rolling basis. Three new office computers support administration and a Babble phone system upgrade is in progress to improve reporting and efficiency.
