Carter Jonas has appointed Mathew Atkinson and Richard Harris as partners in the company’s Leeds office.
Atkinson previously led JLL’s capital markets team in Leeds and has more than 20 years’ experience in investment sales, acquisitions and development funding.
Harris, who led JLL’s industrial and logistics team in Leeds and headed its sector offering for the North, has more than 25 years’ experience in the market.
Scott Harkness, head of commercial at Carter Jonas, said: “The addition of Mathew and Richard to our team marks another important moment for Carter Jonas as we continue to expand and strengthen our national expertise and presence in core regional property markets.
“Having launched our first Manchester office in May this year, as part of our expansion strategy in the North, their in-depth knowledge and achievements complement that of our existing teams and will elevate our service offerings, reinforcing our status as a go-to property consultancy for clients seeking expert advice and unparalleled market insights. I have no doubt that they will make an invaluable contribution to our business in Yorkshire and the wider region, and I look forward to working with them over the coming months.”
Atkinson added: “I am excited to join the Carter Jonas capital markets team as market fundamentals continue to improve and we move to a period of sustained activity post-election. I look forward to contributing to the continued growth of the capital markets and industrial and logistics teams nationally and in particular in the North of England.”
Harris said: “The move to Carter Jonas was an opportunity that I could not turn down. Joining an expanding firm with real growth ambitions in the industrial and logistics sector as the market emerges from a relatively quiet period is very exciting. Our intention is to create a development-focussed business which will drive opportunities and value for our developer and investor clients.”
