Property agents Christie & Co held their annual Business Outlook presentation yesterday in Trinity House opposite the Tower of London.
As ever it was a professional affair with as many statistics on the hospitality property market last year, and predictions for 2008, as a statistician could wish for.
Christie’s international managing director Chris Day led the way, highlighting some of the company’s greatest successes in 2007 by sector.
When it came to a round-up of done deals in the leisure sector the dead pan Mr Day was on fine form when he described the successful sale of Pantiles nightclub, a cavernous site in Bagshot, Surrey, to Sunrise Senior Living.
After the briefest of pauses for effect, Day, with a completely straight face, added: “One imagines they will be changing the use of the building”, which drew well deserved laughter from the audience.
