Christie + Co has enjoyed over 75 years of progressive growth
and development. It was in 1935 that George Christie, James Owen
and Nick Davies founded a practice in London's West End, and London
remains the location for the company's present headquarters.
From the very beginning, the three partners concentrated on
building lasting relationships with their clients. By 1939 they had
established their reputation within the capital for selling small
businesses, hotels and small shop developments. Trade picked up
after the Second World War and throughout the 1950s. By the 1960s,
the company was handling a wide variety of businesses and further,
controlled expansion - through the opening of a number of regional
offices - added leisure and healthcare to Christie + Co’s
areas of expertise. By 1970 the firm was the undisputed market
leader in its sectors.
Christie + Co was bought by Philip Gwyn in
1974 and later became part of Christie Group, which was floated on
the London Stock Exchange in 1988. Christie Group moved to AIM
(Alternative Investment Market) in 2005 and is now a market-leader
in professional business services, software solutions and stock and
inventory control.
We currently employ more than 250 professional and support
service staff. We are keen to attract the best qualified and most
intelligent people - to grow our business and move it forward. We
are looking to the future and aiming to increase our penetration of
the UK market with the continued expansion and broadening of our
services. New and exciting areas of business currently under
development include the worldwide markets – where Christie +
Co is already becoming recognised as a leading name – and the
development of a multi-lingual, pan-European consultancy team.
