Business Opportunity
For Our Seas Health (FOSH) is an established and reputable producer of high quality water bottles which has been operating since 2018.
Based in Gateshead, with excellent transport links via the A1(M), this business opportunity offers a fully, fitted, equipped and stocked water bottle direct to trade supplier with a solid customer base.
The FOSH mission statement is “to provide luxury, resuable alternatives to single-use items that inspire a healthy and sustainable lifestyle”.
Further details of the Company’s commitment to live in a better world can be found at www.foshbottle.com where their relationships with Sedex, Plastic Neutral+ and CleanHub are all outlined.
This bespoke water bottle has been designed for ease of use and includes a wider neck that can accommodate ice cubes whilst still allowing easy drinking on the move. The bottle has a thicker than industry average 0.5mm casement on the brand leading items and all bottles are powder coated.
The bottles sold under the FOSH brand are mostly bespoke designs owned by the Company and these include the 500ml, 670ml, 750ml and 1000ml ranges. The lids are mostly bespoke and incorporate a flip straw so you can drink easily on the move. The base is also wider ensuring that the bottle does not topple over as easily.
There are a selection of eye-catching designs and base colours and customers can choose from a standard stock bottle before their logos and wording is laser printed on by our client.
There are 480 customers registered, many of whom have made multiple orders, but there is currently no BDM or marketing strategy in place and our client spends all his time fulfilling orders, rather than promoting and growing the brand
This is a rare opportunity and a viewing is advised to fully understand the scope and potential of this brand and product.
