Christie & Co named ‘most active’ leisure & hotels agent, North East
Specialist business property advisor, Christie & Co has been named the ‘most active’ agent in the North East in the Leisure and Hotels category of the EG Deals Competition 2020. Success was seen across the UK as Christie & Co’s Leisure and Hotels teams were also named as one of the top-ranking agents in the same category nationally, as well in the South West, South East and Yorkshire regions. The South East team were also ‘most active’ in the Investment category.
David Lee, Regional Hospitality Director for Christie & Co North East and Yorkshire comments, “We are proud to win this award, the Hospitality market has remained remarkably robust during 2020 and the early part of 2021. The team and I enjoyed a very positive year and we were pleased to help a lot of Hoteliers achieve their goal of selling their business. Prices of hotels remained resilient and this continued into 2021.”
Jon Patrick, Director - Head of Leisure & Development adds, “The leisure market is a hugely popular sector for investment and lifestyle businesses and we certainly saw a significant increase in interest for all things ‘outdoors’ during 2020. The start of 2021 has seen a flurry of deals already as buyers have been keen to get into a new business ahead of Easter and the hopeful relaxing of Covid-related restrictions. With more of us set to spend an increasing amount of our down time in the UK or take breaks closer to home, leisure businesses are well positioned to benefit from the anticipated bounce we envisage will follow.”
