BUYER SOURCED TO FILL CLIENT’S SHOES

Our client stepped into retirement, praising Knightsbridge’s “excellent service”…

“The service and support I received was excellent. I highly recommend Knightsbridge.”

Fitter Feet Podiatry Limited, which trades as Feet First, is a podiatry clinic in Thame, Oxfordshire, that opened its doors in 2004.

It quickly established itself in the industry and built lasting relationships with its clients, a base of over 4,000 active customers - of which 90% provide repeat business.

After Founder Jenneyfer Klose made the decision to retire following decades of work in the industry, she contacted Knightsbridge to facilitate the sale of Feet First.

Along with the wider team, Sales Negotiator Paige Brindle got on the front foot, sourcing a suitable buyer for the business within nine months of going live on the market.

Feet First was purchased by Michael Hooper, an experienced podiatrist who after many years in the field was looking to run his own clinic.

“Michael was moving to Oxfordshire and was on the hunt for a practice”, explained Paige, adding: “Jenneyfer has agreed to stay on for a while to help ease the transition.

“She was very happy that she had a few offers to choose from, which ended with two competing offers on the table at the same time.

“I think the fact the business sold in less than one year is amazing. We remained confidential and sourced a very suitable successor in Michael.”

In a five-star review, Jenneyfer commented: “I engaged Knightsbridge to market the sale of my business. Their approach was professional, proactive and reassuring.

“They did an excellent job. I had a good response from buyers and secured a deal. Their solicitors handled the process, and they were excellent.

“Paige managed my case. She was very supportive, always on the end of the phone to reassure, intervene and advise.

“The service and support I received was excellent. I highly recommend Knightsbridge.”
