Christie & Co named as a real estate "Superbrand"

Christie Group plc (CTG.L), the leading provider of Professional Business Services and Stock & Inventory Systems & Services to the leisure, retail and care markets, is pleased to announce the recognition of Christie & Co as a "Superbrand" within the real estate sector. 

In a survey commissioned by The Estates Gazette and carried out by The Centre for Brand Analysis, Christie & Co was selected among a handful of practices from a shortlist of 50 leading property advisers.

Final voting was conducted by a 30-strong panel of experts and online by 2,500 business professionals with purchasing or managerial responsibility, in a process which initially identified nearly 1,500 brands including those from the property sector.

The three main judging criteria were 'quality, reliability and distinction'.

Commenting on the survey, David Rugg, Chief Executive, said "What 'Superbrand' status shows is that it's all about being recognised and trusted and following through with client delivery as enshrined in our brand standards. This award also demonstrates that Christie & Co's brand is recognised globally. This gives Christie & Co a fantastic advantage for development and geographic expansion."
