I thank Hilary Knights of Childcare Concepts for assisting me in the selling of my Childcare Centre.  Hilary knew the area and market well and worked hard to achieve the sale.  Hillary was always professional and prompt in all her dealings with me and kept me updated at all times, I found her a pleasure to deal with and would recommend her if looking to sell a Childcare Centre on the Northside of Brisbane.

John Cook, MD of Care for Kindies, a family owned and operated group of centres with over 20 years of servicing their local communities, recently worked with leading childcare brokerage service, Childcare Concepts.  Through Phillip’s guidance and expert negotiations over several months, with two interested parties, John Cook was able gain a selling price that far exceeded his expectations.

Care for Kindies

I met Phillip Malek through the Australian Childcare Alliance NSW.  Phil’s knowledge of the sector and network of potential purchasers was impressive, plus being a centre owner himself he understood what I needed and ensured there was no impact on the services and the listing was kept confidential at all times.  I would highly recommend them as the first point of contact when thinking of selling!
