Bridget Saunders

Bridget Saunders is a Senior Business Broker with Barker Business and a member of the Childcare Sales Team based in Auckland. Since joining Barker in 2019, she has specialised in the sale of early childhood education centres, working with vendors and buyers throughout New Zealand. Bridget is a multi-offer specialist, skilled at managing the process fairly to achieve the strongest result for her vendors. Her last four centre listings all sold through multi-offer. Childcare sales involve many moving parts, from leases and staffing to funding, licensing and finance. Bridget identifies the pressure points early and works through them with all parties to keep deals on track. Her approach is built on relationships, keeping her across the sector changes that affect value. She has sold rural, suburban and urban centres with operating models ranging from low-fee to premium, so she understands what drives each one and how to present its strengths to the right buyers.
