Birthworks - Birthing Pools & Labour Essentials

Anyone fancy taking over the pools??? I have x 3 x regular pool in box and 2 x mini pools, plus 6 regular liners and 8 mini liners, 1 x 10m hose, a couple of sieves and plenty of tap adaptors and thermometers. All offers welcome 😀 thanks

After many years and following a break due to other commitments I have now made the decision to sell Birthworks. The business has done very well for me over the years, but now it is time to move on.

I would like to sell the business as a whole, including the pools, equipment and company name.

The following tangible assets would be included in the sale:
4 wooden hexagonal pools, exclusive to Birthworks
3 regular Pool in a Box
3 mini Pool in a Box
7 regular disposable liners
8 mini disposable liners
3 lilac non-slip floor sheets
4 disposable sieves/strainers
4 disposable thermometers
11 multi purpose tap connector
7 round tap connectors
6 submersible electric pumps
6 AC Inflate-Deflate Pump
2 Elle Tens machine
1 Mama Tens machine
7 new packs of electrodes
4 packs of new AA batteries
Instruction leaflets
Information leaflets
Birthworks stickers (large: 290mm x 160mm & small :90mm x 60mm)

The inflatable pools have all been hired out as follows:
Regular Pool 2 = 10times out of 20
Regular Pool 3 = 14 times out of 40
Mini Pool 4 = 2 times out of 40
Regular Pool 5 = 8 times out of 40
Mini Pool 6 = 12 times out of 40

Intangible assets:
Birthworks was well-known amongst midwives, NCT groups and other birth professionals, having started in 1987 before the explosion of birth pool hire. Pools were delivered nationwide and a large base of customers was established bringing customer loyalty, repeat business and new sales through word-of-mouth. This is still true with calls being received despite the website being offline.

If you are interested in buying the business please message me or email me at [email protected]

Thanks
