After a promising year helping to build our investment pipeline in Medical, I am looking forward to the challenge of driving activity across Medical, Retail & Leisure.
The market share in our operational sectors provides Christie & Co with an unrivalled pool of specialist buyers, including operators specifically looking to acquire freeholds. I am confident that this exposure, alongside our sector knowledge, gives us a unique advantage in the investment market, which will provide exceptional results for our clients.”
