Specialist business property advisor, Christie & Co, has appointed Paul Graham as the managing director – medical. Paul initially joined Christie & Co’s corporate medical team in 2014, and his dedication and expertise led to his promotion to director in 2017. Later, he assumed the role of head of dental in the UK, where he successfully led a growing multi-disciplinary team of agents and advisors across the country. Paul played a pivotal role in the brokerage side of the dental business, orchestrating notable transactions, including Queensway Group’s partnership with Dentex and a substantial portfolio of BUPA divestments.
In his new position, Paul will oversee the complete spectrum of Christie & Co’s medical services offering, ranging from brokerage to valuation. This encompasses pivotal sectors such as dentistry, pharmacy, general practice, and veterinary services.
The role was previously occupied by Simon Hughes, who played a significant role in leading the company’s expansion into pharmacy, dentistry, GP surgeries, and other healthcare sectors in 2013. Simon will now transition into the role of commercial director, where he will contribute to the development and enhancement of key business areas.
“Huge congratulations to Paul on this senior appointment,” said Darren Bond, global managing director at Christie & Co. “Our medical team has been market-leading with its dental and pharmacy activity in recent years, and I have every confidence that the business will continue to increase its market share under Paul’s leadership. I’d also like to thank Simon for establishing such an incredible team over the last 10 years and I look forward to working together with him in his new strategic role.”
“I am delighted to be appointed to this position,” said Paul Graham, managing director – medical at Christie & Co. “I have had the distinct privilege of working closely with Simon, witnessing firsthand the remarkable impact he has made in our medical sector, and I’m deeply grateful for his contributions and stewardship. Our team’s success has been immense and is a testament to the amazing efforts and expertise of the colleagues within—for this, I am incredibly grateful. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to our valued clients, as your steadfast support has been a cornerstone of our progress. My commitment to our business spans across dental, pharmacy, and medical valuations, and, as I embark on this new chapter, I am energized to drive continued development and growth in our medical sector, building on our strong heritage.”
