“
The uncertain economic climate made for different
demand drivers in 2011. As a result Christie + Co’s
specialist Valuation Services team was able to use its
strong sector knowledge and expertise to support
the debt restructuring work of lenders as well as
providing expert pre-transaction assistance and
valuations.”
“
With their combined expertise allied to the company’s
heritage, Christie +Co’s Consultancy team can genuinely
say they’ve seen it all before. Therefore, in a turbulent
year like 2011, we were able to leverage our considerable
experience of economic ups and downs to deliver
genuine, sustainable solutions of value to our clients.”

UK Managing Director
“
Christie + Co enters 2012 with an encouraging
number of new instructions to bring businesses
to market. Of the businesses we sold in 2011,
25
per cent had a distressed background and
we expect banks to continue driving transactional
activity over the next few months. The current
transactional landscape is not new territory for
Christie + Co’s experienced business advisers
and agents. We are confident in our ability to
value businesses for sale and are also buoyed by
the fact that the market mechanism continues to
function, as buyers come forward to absorb the
stock that becomes available.”
