CRE Brokers are pleased to present Blackgum Distribution Services, an established Tasmanian distribution business with a proven track record spanning more than 20 years.
Established in 2004, the business has built a strong reputation as a trusted link between suppliers and customers, servicing more than 200 active customers across Tasmania. Its established network includes bookshops, newsagents, visitor information centres, tourism operators, government agencies and specialist retailers.
Blackgum Distribution Services distributes a diverse range of products including books, maps, souvenirs, educational resources and complementary retail products. The business has developed long-standing relationships with publishers, authors, government agencies and specialist suppliers, supported by an established statewide distribution network.
Operating from leased warehouse premises in Moonah, the business benefits from proven systems and processes covering purchasing, inventory management, warehousing, order fulfilment and statewide distribution. These established operations provide a solid platform for continued growth and expansion.
A key feature of the business is its consignment distribution model, which complements traditional wholesale activities. Blackgum Distribution Services currently manages approximately $450,000 in supplier-owned inventory, generating recurring income from warehousing, stock management and distribution services while reducing the working capital requirements of the business.
The business is being offered for sale as the Owner prepares for retirement following more than two decades of successful operation. The Owner is committed to supporting the incoming Purchaser through an agreed transition and handover period, assisting with the continuation of established supplier and customer relationships.
Blackgum Distribution Services presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a well-established business with diversified revenue streams, proven systems, an extensive customer base and strong supplier relationships. With an established team of processes and infrastructure in place, the business offers scope for a new owner to continue its success and explore further opportunities for growth, without requiring specialised product knowledge.
