Lockdown Ltd is a chain of off-licence’s selling alcohol beverages and has share ownership with two brothers Paddy & John McGuiness. The company was established in 2010 by the brothers, they are the only shareholders owning 50% each.
The two brothers set up the company after being let go from their positions as bar manager and hotel duty manager respectively in late 2009. The brothers felt that at that time, off-licence was the way forward during the downturn in the economy.
Lockdown Ltd started off with just the two stores with each brother running one each. In 2014, an opportunity to purchase six more stores arose and with the first two stores being profitable the brothers jumped at the chance to expand. A manager was employed at each of the extra stores.
On January 1st 2019 Lockdown Ltd purchased two more stores but with the company expanding rapidly the brothers were no longer able to work within the off-licences themselves and each of the 10 stores employed a full-time manager.
Along with each of the 10 stores employing a full time manager, one other full time and two part time staff are employed in each store.
During 2019 the brothers started supplying wholesale to the pubs and restaurants in the local area, giving generous credit terms.
The brothers are also thinking of investing in delivery Vans for each store in 2020, they want to know from your expertise would this be a good move going forward as a business.
The brothers Paddy & John McGuiness are pleased with the way business is going but neither are up to date with accounting or good with figures.
