Business property advisor Christie & Co has appointed Cathy Murphy as a business agent in its dental team in the North of England.

Following a degree in criminal justice from the University of Chester, Murphy worked for eight years as a practice manager at a large, predominantly NHS practice in Merseyside, before selling dental businesses at a brokerage firm for four and a half years.

Murphy said: “Having worked in brokerage… I am looking forward to building on existing relationships within the industry. My previous position has provided me with market knowledge and experience, which Christie & Co will undoubtedly build upon, given their exceptional reputation in the dental sector. Market activity is strong in the North and I expect to see a surge in activity over the next 12 months.”

Paul Graham, head of dental at Christie & Co, commented: “Our esteemed dental team gains a seasoned professional who brings not only her impressive qualifications but also a commitment to excellence that resonates with our core values. Cathy’s track record of achievements serves as a testament to her dedication and capability. As we welcome Cathy, we seize the opportunity to learn from one another and to collectively script the next chapter of our position as the go-to agents in the dental market.”
