An opportunity which may suit a bookbinder looking for a new lifestyle in New Zealand. Gavin Lovett is the proprietor of 'Menu du Jour', a bindery in New Zealand. They proudly bind the best menu covers and hotel products in New Zealand. Due to the expansion of the other wing of their company (a separate software company), they have reluctantly put Menu du Jour on the market.
This is the ideal company for a qualified book-binder to purchase and this could provide a beachhead for expansion into other bookbinding options. It would also get a 'foot-in-the-door' for someone wanting to emigrate to New Zealand.
Interested parties should contact Gavin at the e-mail address on their web site.
