A historic Scottish furniture retail and removal business has been brought to the market.
The business is described as a “beloved institution” and the family who own it aims to find the right buyer to continue to serve the community.
Alastair Donald, of the Consultancy Network, is handling the sale of Bremners of Foggie, Aberchirder, Aberdeenshire.
The agent said: “This marks a rare opportunity to acquire a thriving, multi-faceted business with deep roots in the local community.
