An opportunity has arisen to purchase the website platform of W Crowder & Sons Ltd, www.crowders.co.uk.

Since the sale of Crowders garden centre in 2016, the company has decided to focus on its core wholesale nursery businesses and is therefore offering their award nominated website for sale. Built by a specialist contractor on a Magento Enterprise platform through 2015, there are many high specification features including a marketplace module, links to Amazon, ebay and Tesco shopping platforms and the capability of offering a full multi-channel solution for retailers through back-end integration.

The owners have invested substantial resource (both financial and staff time) in developing a leading edge, fully functioning, easy to navigate, well designed website that is ready to use, the current owners having already taken all of the development ?pain? to offer a site that is built and developed to deliver a properly integrated multi-channel retailing platform. The sale includes all intellectual assets and property rights, customer databases, links, backend interfaces, payment gateways and assigned hosting arrangements, Facebook pages and all relevant social media access.

The web site would suit either a general retail business or garden centre looking to enter or expand its multi-channel capability, but without the risk (both financial and resourcing) of having to develop their own web site from scratch.

This is a great opportunity and one that doesn?t come along very often. If you would like further information, please don?t hesitate to contact Rachel McMordie or Simon Quinton Smith at Quinton Edwards 01635 551441
