Subject: Poppymill Brook: care-home assessment timing
Hello Crystal Care Collection team,
Crystal’s current directory lists Poppymill Brook in Brockworth for January 2027. We provide independent care-home and pre-occupation fire-risk assessments, with fire-door surveys available as a separate scope.
What date will the completed building and the intended care staffing model both be available for a meaningful pre-occupation visit?
Could you point us to the person who owns that decision and let us know whether this is a useful time for an introduction? If the scope is already covered, knowing the appropriate review point would help us avoid duplicating existing arrangements.
Kind regards,
Foley Fire

Next trigger: A confirmed commissioning or handover timetable and the named operational decision maker.
Kandiah Vijayakumar / operator group not named in sale release | Acquired | Timetable to confirm
Target scope
Establish whether the new operator requires an independent review of the current occupied-home assessment.
Christie & Co announced Kingsley House’s sale to Kandiah Vijayakumar in February 2026; the seller had previously added bedrooms. Foley’s care-home assessment focus can support a proportionate review of existing information without assuming a full replacement report is necessary.
First move
Start with Kingsley House on 01666 503333 and ask who now owns the relevant decision. If an email introduction is preferable, email Simon Harvey at simon.harvey@christie.com to ask whether an introduction to the owner or project lead is possible. The adviser is not the procurement buyer. Lead with: Does the inherited assessment reflect the current bedroom layout, resident-assistance needs and staffing arrangements?
Qualification questions
Does the inherited assessment reflect the current bedroom layout, resident-assistance needs and staffing arrangements?
When will the completed layout, evacuation strategy, system records and staffing assumptions be available together?
What is the next agreed review or renewal date, and is there a current need beyond the existing provider’s contract?

Subject: Kingsley House Nursing Home: introduction to the relevant owner or project lead
Hi Simon,
Christie & Co announced Kingsley House’s sale to Kandiah Vijayakumar in February 2026; the seller had previously added bedrooms. We provide independent care-home and pre-occupation fire-risk assessments, with fire-door surveys available as a separate scope.
Would it be possible to forward a short introduction to the owner or relevant project lead? The initial question is: Does the inherited assessment reflect the current bedroom layout, resident-assistance needs and staffing arrangements?
We would like to establish whether there is a defined requirement and the right time to speak. We appreciate that the sale announcement does not establish a current supplier review.
Kind regards,
Foley Fire
