Business property advisor Christie & Co has appointed Hannah Haines as its new head of healthcare consultancy.

Haines joined Christie & Co as an analyst in the company’s consultancy team in 2015 and was promoted to director in 2021. She has worked extensively across the care, medical and childcare sectors and has had a senior role in most of the major projects handled by the healthcare team, including a pivotal role in Four Seasons Health Care Group’s ‘Project Oak’.

In her new position Haines is tasked with further developing Christie & Co’s healthcare consultancy services. She takes over from Mike Hodges who originally established Christie & Co’s healthcare consultancy function in 2013 and was recently appointed as managing director of the company’s capital markets division.

Haines said: “I am excited for this opportunity to further develop our consultancy services across our healthcare sectors in the UK and Europe. Having worked side-by-side with Mike and other colleagues for the past nine years, I look forward to continuing on our path of success in leveraging our data, analytics capabilities, and experience to provide the best advice to our clients.”

Hodges commented: “I am delighted to be passing over the leadership of the healthcare consultancy team to Hannah. Her appointment is very well deserved, and she will be leading a team of exceptional talent.”
