CoGoGo welcomes to the market, Sharnbrook Tackle.
Sharnbrook Tackle was founded by the current owner in 1998 when he identified a gap in the market. The business has been a real labour of love for him accruing an impressive number of regular customers, lucrative business contacts and a fantastic reputation.
The business is now being sold, albeit reluctantly and with a heavy heart only due to a wish to take a well-earned retirement. The vendor is keen to see his beloved tackle company pass to an ambitious and entrepreneurial new owner(s) who can take this already thriving business to the next level.
