, has assisted in the merger of two charitable trusts, operating in the social
care sector.

 

The Orders of St John Care Trust (OSJCT) has announced its merger with The
Fremantle Trust, in a transaction where Christie & Co's market-leading
Care team brokered the combination of the two charities.

 

Established in 1991, OSJCT is a charitable trust which supports nearly 3,000
older people, employs just over 4,400 colleagues, and manages over 500
volunteers in 61 care homes and 8 extra housing schemes across
Gloucestershire, Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Suffolk, West Sussex and
Wiltshire.

 

The Fremantle Trust, also a charitable trust, has a significant presence in
Buckinghamshire, supporting over 750 people and employing over 1,300
colleagues across multiple facilities.

 

Richard Lunn, Managing Director - Care at Christie & Co, commented: "It
was a pleasure to facilitate the merger of these two well-established,
well-respected charitable trusts whose shared values will no doubt create a
brilliant partnership, making a true difference to the lives of the people in
their care."

 

Dan Prickett, Christie Group plc Chief Executive, commented: "This transaction
illustrates and reinforces Christie & Co's longstanding and established
reputation across the UK's 'third sector', which has resulted in numerous
positive outcomes for our clients and the communities in which they operate
over many years, and which we are excited about continuing to support moving
forwards."
