Christie & Co is pleased to announce the addition of Gabriela “Gabby” Williams to its Leisure team. This strategic appointment aims to enhance Christie & Co’s operations in the Midlands and South West of England.
Gabby Williams joins Christie & Co with significant experience in the property market, having previously worked within agencies in Colchester and the London prime market. Her expertise will now be directed towards collaborating with leisure businesses in these crucial regions, including holiday parks, residential caravan parks, visitor attractions, and marinas.
“I am delighted to join the Leisure team at Christie & Co and look forward to contributing to the growth of the sector,” said Gabby Williams. “There are certainly some fantastic leisure opportunities across the Midlands and South West, and I’m eager to help these businesses sell for the best price or grow their portfolios.”
The Midlands and South West regions are particularly significant for Christie & Co’s leisure business. According to data from the Office for National Statistics, these regions have seen a steady increase in domestic tourism, with the West Midlands recording a 3.2% rise in visitor numbers in the past year.
This growth highlights the potential for leisure businesses in these areas to thrive under expert guidance. Jon Patrick, head of Leisure & Development at Christie & Co, expressed his enthusiasm for the new appointment.
“We’re exceptionally pleased to welcome Gabby to our expanding team of UK leisure specialists. The Midlands and Southwest regions are especially important from a leisure perspective, and having Gabby in situ and focusing on these areas will enable us to provide the levels of client service we aspire to.”
This appointment is part of Christie & Co’s broader strategy to expand their Leisure team and increase their presence in key markets. The company’s commitment to growth and excellence in client service is evident through this strategic move.
The addition of Gabby Williams is expected to significantly enhance the support and services provided to leisure businesses in these regions.
The leisure sector in the Midlands and South West is ripe with opportunities. A report by VisitBritain highlighted that the South West remains one of the most popular regions for domestic holidays, with visitor spending contributing significantly to the local economy. Christie & Co aims to capitalize on this trend by offering specialized services to leisure businesses.
Gabby Williams’ expertise will be instrumental in delivering enhanced client services, ensuring that businesses receive the support needed to maximize their potential. The appointment underscores Christie & Co’s dedication to providing top-tier advisory services to the leisure sector, particularly in regions with high growth potential.
