Supporting first-time ownership of a growing garden centre business

Christie Finance is delighted to have supported the purchase of Sturmer Nurseries, a well-established garden centre located in Essex. With a strong local reputation and a loyal customer base, the business presented an exciting opportunity for a first-time buyer entering the horticultural retail sector.

The site benefits from high-quality buildings and offers scope for future development, including the potential to add further structures and expand parking facilities. Operating six days a week, the business has demonstrated consistent growth in sales and profitability, making it an attractive proposition for commercial mortgage funding.

Our team worked closely with the buyer to secure a tailored finance solution that supported both the acquisition and future plans for the site. We’re proud to have played a part in helping a new owner take their first step into business ownership and look forward to seeing Sturmer Nurseries continue to thrive.
