In 1846 Benjamin Orridge, who was Queen Victoria’s pharmacist and a founder member of the Royal Pharmaceutical Society, had the inspiration to assist his fellow pharmacists to sell their businesses for the best possible price. He set up his business in Ludgate Hill in London and thus started the successful agency of Orridge & Company.

Orridge & Company eventually started a successful stocktaking business but the business sales agency was separated from the stocktaking business in 2000, to enable the present owners to concentrate solely on business sales. The dental practice agency was started in 2001 and has a strong reputation and has become a very successful part of our business. The business is now owned by Nick Holland-Brown, who has been at Orridge for 40 years, and his family.

What differentiates us from our competitors

Perhaps the most important difference is that valuing and selling businesses is ALL that we do. Unlike some of our competitors who are also stocktakers, accountants, consultants or locum agencies, we are business sales agents through and through. We concentrate 100% of our time and effort on selling our clients’ businesses.

We are a thriving and energetic company, dedicated to selling businesses on a national basis throughout the United Kingdom. Our team of Regional Sales Managers all have defined areas giving them a thorough local knowledge of the market and are strongly committed to achieving the best available deals for our clients.

We are a personal and approachable company, and we continue to invest in new technology to retain our market position. This continual investment improves the efficiency of our staff and our clients benefit from increased attention to detail, improved standards of service and speedy transactions.
