Business for sale

Unfortunately I am now a bit to old to run the business successfully. I will be 76 next birthday and my health is poor. Therefore despite the huge potential I am looking for people who can buy this business and take it forward.

Offer

After more than four years of intensive development and a personal investment exceeding £500,000, I have successfully created and prototyped the Flexi Column System.

This is a completely innovative, modular building system designed to create customisable architectural columns, bollards, and door surrounds for both interior and exterior use. The system features a series of interlocking components allowing for easily adjustable dimensions and cross-sections. Because the columns are hollow, they offer incredible versatility for installers – acting as both decorative features and clever, practical concealments for wiring, pipework, and integrated LED lighting or CCTV surveillance systems.

The product is fully realised, all production tooling (including custom jigs and dies) is complete, and a dedicated showroom has been established at my workshop in Norfolk.

Why this asset is available for sale

I am currently in my mid-seventies and already own and operate a highly successful, active online business manufacturing custom pelmets (www.pelmets4u.co.uk). Having brought this new column system through the gruelling development phase to the absolute finish line, I have come to the practical realisation that I do not have the time or energy at this stage in my life to launch, scale, and run a second commercial business.

As a result, this is a genuine sale of the entire business package – including the product designs, manufacturing tools, existing stock, branding, and digital infrastructure. It represents an ideal, turnkey addition for an established company in the architectural, plastics manufacturing, or building products sector to absorb into their existing distribution networks.

Next Steps & Invitation

I invite you to review our current prototypes on the website. However, to truly appreciate the versatility, build quality, and commercial potential of the system, I would like to invite you to visit our workshop and showroom here in Watton, Norfolk. For international or long-distance buyers, our nearest airport is Norwich Airport (NWI), and I would be delighted to personally arrange your pickup and return transport from the terminal.

If you are interested in exploring this acquisition or arranging a showroom visit, please contact me directly at 07939 126803 or via email sales@flexicolumn.co.uk.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours sincerely,

Graham Woodyatt

Background and context

Whilst working on the pelmets business I realised there was an opportunity to make columns or parts thereof, seeing the potential in 2021. The pelmets used sections of cardboard tubes to make rounded ends initially and then to improve speed and strength I moved on to bent plastic parts. I began to see the possibilities of using pre made section components and extrusions and of them being assembled into more complicated shapes and sections. If I could supply the customer with a set of components it would reduce shipping difficulties and costs of sending a large preassembled product. Customers would be able to build a wide range of possible items without professional help. From this came the multiple parts of the flexi column system.

The Pelmets4u business is also available for sale for similar reasons to Flexicolumn. I would prefer to sell both together but happy to sell them separately if that works for you.

The sale would include all the domain names including boolards.com and boolards.co.uk also continued access to myself for consultation and advice. Also the existing workshop and showroom premises.

I believe this business has huge potential and would love to see it go forward and a grow to be a success.
