Luke Allen, Finance Consultant at Christie Finance comments “I am delighted to have assisted Olivia Gabriel with the refinance of her recently converted pub into a B&B and events venue. This transaction highlights the value of our end‑to‑end support, from working alongside our real estate team on the auction purchase through to successfully terming out the debt within the Core team.

The deal involved several legal and structural complexities, all of which were carefully managed to achieve a successful outcome. This is a strong example of how we act as a client’s full commercial wallet.

I look forward to supporting Olivia with her future endeavours and have greatly enjoyed working with such a proactive and engaged client.”

Olivia Gabriel, the owner of the Lime Kiln, states, “I want to thank you so much for your perseverance on our case, especially towards the end, as I do believe without your pushing we wouldn't have completed when we did! Kimberley at Fodens spoke very highly of you and also thanked you for your hard work getting us over the line.”
