Christie & Co Brokers Sale of Nursery Group
Christie Group plc (CTG.L), the leading provider of Professional
& Financial Services and Stock & Inventory Systems &
Services to the hospitality, leisure, healthcare, medical,
childcare & education and retail sectors, is pleased to
announce that Christie & Co, its specialist provider of agency
and advisory services, has completed the sale of Kids Allowed, a
market leading nursery group, to Kids Planet, for an undisclosed
sum.
Christie & Co's specialist childcare team were engaged to
explore options and facilitate a highly confidential sale of the
group, containing a number of award winning nurseries located
within the North West of England.
Founded in 2003 by Jennie Johnson MBE, the Kids Allowed group
had grown organically to encompass eight state-of-the-art,
purpose-built settings, providing childcare to approximately 2,000
children. The eight day nurseries were sold on a leasehold basis,
in an off-market transaction, to Kids Planet, an expanding group
operator with more than 44 nurseries across the North West and
Midlands.
Courteney Donaldson, Managing Director - Child Centric Sectors
at Christie & Co, comments: "I first met Jennie back in the
early 2000's, when I was invited to lend my expertise to undertake
an independent review of the Kids Allowed original business plan.
Over the intervening years it has been wonderful to watch the
business grow and flourish. Having been invited to facilitate the
sale, it has been an absolute joy to support Jennie through the
entire lifecycle of her business, from conception, to exit".
