National property consultancy Carter Jonas has appointed Arthur Chambers as head of its Bristol office.
Arthur, pictured, takes over from Andrew Hardwick, who leads the firm’s Bristol commercial office agency team.
Chambers joined Carter Jonas as a graduate surveyor in 2006. Having started his career in Wiltshire, he moved to Bath and then Bristol, progressing through the business to lead its Bristol rural team.
With an agricultural background, he is well known for providing agency and professional advice in the rural sector to private individuals, public bodies and corporate clients.
Carter Jonas relocated its Bristol and Bath professional services teams to Clifton in 2019 following the acquisition of long-established, single-office Bristol agency Williams Gunter Hardwick.
The base in St Catherine’s Court, Berkeley Place, opened with 30 people and since expanded to be more than 50-strong as Carter Jonas has significantly grown its presence in the region.
In his new role, Arthur will work with the office team to direct its operations in Bristol and the surrounding areas while driving firm-wide, cross-divisional initiatives in collaboration with Carter Jonas national network.
Arthur said: “This marks our fourth year since launching in Bristol, and, under Andrew’s leadership, our business has gone from strength to strength.
“It has been incredibly exciting to be a part of this expansion and I look forward to working with Andrew and the rest of the talented team at St Catherine’s Court to continue to grow our business and increase awareness of the services we provide and the expertise of our multi-disciplinary team.
“We have professionals working across all sectors of the built environment and are well-placed to advise and support clients on the wealth of opportunities in the South West market.”
Andrew Hardwick, pictured, added: “Having worked alongside Arthur since joining Carter Jonas, I am so pleased to be handing over the reins to him.
“He is an integral member of our team, as passionate about his sector as he is about our wider business, people and clients.
“His enthusiasm and drive will be invaluable as we embark on the next stage of growth.”
Carter Jonas has a network of 34 offices and 900 people across England and Wales, helps its clients sell, let, manage and add value to their properties.
The firm works across various sectors including residential, farms and estates, development land, offices, industrial and retail buildings.
