detail

This opportunity provides a purchaser with the ability to acquire a specialist contracting business operating within the horticultural sector - offering scale, purpose-built equipment, and strong relationships across the industry. Established in 2016, the business services approximately 3,000 hectares across the Bay of Plenty, Waikato and Coromandel regions.

KEY BUSINESS STRENGTHS

  • Efficient, custom-built operating model — a purpose-built bin system allows multiple orders to be carried at once, reducing empty running and enabling multiple properties to be serviced in a single day.
  • Streamlined field operations — equipment can be unloaded on site without uncoupling from the transport vehicle, while an integrated conveyor system reduces down time and supports highly productive days in the field.
  • Built for scale — the business is well positioned serving large clients and management companies through to small owner operators who require reliable service, efficient scheduling, and the ability to deliver at scale during key seasonal windows.
  • Diversified service offering — an additional material handling service, with clients arranging supply and the business providing the equipment and operator expertise to complete the work.
  • Technology-enabled operations — integrated GPS guidance and an online job-management platform provide accurate guidance and automatically record job data for proof of placement and reporting — a capability highly valued by larger clients for compliance and Good Agricultural Practice requirements.
  • Plant & Machinery – includes $600,000 of Plant & Machinery 

TRANSITION & GROWTH POTENTIAL

  • The business operates with the equipment, systems and market relationships needed to service a  meaningful share of this specialist market.
  • The Vendors will provide the necessary training and assistance to ensure a smooth transition to a new owner.
  • A strong fit for a purchaser with an interest in horticulture, logistics, contracting or rural services. 
  • A well-established platform with a strong regional presence and practical scope to continue building on the foundations already in place.

A quality opportunity to acquire a specialist horticultural services business with genuine scale, tangible asset backing and established market relationships.
