In this article, Simon Chaplin - Senior Director of Pubs, Restaurant & Franchising shares his insights on the growing UK franchise industry and our experience in the sector.

Jon Patrick provided us with a professional and helpful service. From our initial meeting, he gave us good advice about the procedure and during the process he was always available, regularly checked in on how we were getting on, guided us through the offers process and pushed things along to completion. The process was swifter than we expected and the sale price exceeded our expectations

On retirement it was necessary to sell my practice premises. Although I had already found a suitable buyer whom I knew would be an excellent landlord for the practice, I decided to appoint Christies & Co to represent my interests and guide me through the rather complex sale and leaseback process. It was a pleasure to work with Chris Vowles. His knowledge and experience were invaluable in what turned out to be a very protracted process. Chris was friendly and approachable, providing me with much-needed support through the various obstacles that arose.

When we made the decision to sell our remaining 2 practices it was always going to be with Tom @ Christies help and assistance. Having successfully sold 2 practices in the preceding year with Tom’s help, we where sure we needed him again. Tom was great, he conducted the valuation modelling and took us to market in no time. The offers tumbled in and he helped us organise the sales viewings. He was available after working hours and was on hand with advice and back ground knowledge on the interested companies. Tom continued to help us during the due diligence, smoothing some bumps in the road and helping to bring the sale to a successful end. Tom @ Christies added value, but he also helped us expedite a successful sale and made the process simple and straight forward.

I am grateful to Jack from Christie & Co in guiding me throughout the sale process of our Pharmacy. I had made contact with him on recommendations from my colleagues. He kept me informed and responded promptly for any advice or queries at all times. I have no hesitation in recommending Jack for his professionalism and experience in Pharmacy sales.

We have just completed the sale of our dental practice in Dundee and while it was a longer process than we anticipated, with the covid pandemic halting progress, we were helped and supported all the way by Joel Mannix of Christie & Co. Joel remained professional and encouraging throughout the process. He found many potential buyers who came to view, from all over Scotland, and kept in close contact at all times. He held regular reviews, always following up the most tentative of enquiries and working hard in the background on our behalf. His help and guidance were invaluable and by the end, he felt more like an interested and committed friend than just an agent doing his job. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joel and Christie & Co to anyone thinking of selling their practice.
