Online aquatics store acquired by UK PLC

Warehouse Aquatics is a fully relocatable online aquatics store based in Peterborough.

The business was offered to the market in order to allow our clients to concentrate fully on other interests.

Warehouse Aquatics generates an annual turnover of £630k through its 26,000 registered customers and experiences high volumes of repeat custom. The company sells a range of aquatic, marine, pond and reptile products including filtration systems, tanks, lighting and specialist foods.

The business was acquired in September 2014, after just 8 months on the market, for £175k by MBL Group PLC. MBL is a £12 million turnover UK distributor and wholesaler of home entertainment products which operates through 3 divisions: The Garden & Home Trading Co., which sells garden bird and wildlife related products; Garden Centre Online, which sells garden and plant products; and Windsong, which specialises in providing a wide range of CD and DVD products.

Gemma Moss of Knightsbridge Business Sales commented, “I am delighted that a sale was agreed just 5 months after the business came to the market and the sale was completed after just 8 months. We wish the buyers every success.”
