Oliver Guppy joins Christie & Co’s childcare & education team in the South West
Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has appointed Oliver Guppy as business agent within its childcare & education team, covering the South West of England and South Wales.
After spending over two years in Christie & Co’s retail team, Oliver has built strong expertise in advising business owners on exit strategies and acquisitions. He now moves to the specialist childcare & education team where he will be able to focus his skills in this very active sector helping both buyers and sellers.
Oliver comments, “I am delighted to be joining the market-leading childcare & education team in this new capacity. Throughout 2025, there has been strong demand for childcare settings across the South West, with notable high-profile transactions from large corporate operators through to first-time buyers eager to grow their presence. If you’re considering acquiring or selling, I’d be happy to have a confidential conversation about your nursery’s potential value and an update on current market trends.”
Nick Brown, director & head of brokerage – childcare & education at Christie & Co, adds, “We’re thrilled to see Oliver take on this new role within our team. He is a great addition and his experience and commitment make him an asset, especially at a time of continued growth and activity in the sector.”
