Books and Gifts Direct Limited formed following the consolidation of the Australian and New Zealand operations of Lifetime Distributors “The Book People” Pty Ltd and Premier Books Limited.
Both businesses founded on the principle of selling quality products that appeal to a wide customer-base, at value pricing.You’ve probably seen hundreds of their sample boxes, over the years. Usually at reception or in the lunchroom. Staff and regular visitors buy the latest books and gifts from them, for up to 70% off RRP.
No gimmicks, no seconds, just great value, quality books and gifts that you'd normally buy from your local specialty retailer, department store, book shop or on-line.
It is envisioned that the purchase of the business will be for the stock only, no goodwill. The business has not as yet realised the synergies from the merger of the two businesses and this will be to the benefit of the purchaser.
The ROI indicated is for a fully-managed business. A new owner can decide whether to take on the MD role or choose to leave as is and ‘work-on’ the business.
