Originally from Solihull, Sean said he had been attracted to Harris Lamb because of the consultancy’s excellent reputation within the commercial property field and its well-documented support to its reputation within the industry and its commitment to its staff.

“I was keen to become part of a professional consultancy that provided the opportunity to further myself and my career, and Harris Lamb is a well established and well respected business with a strong reputation for providing award-winning service and for advancing its team.

“I am looking forward to working closely with the planning team and colleagues across the business to share my own knowledge and skills and learn from them in turn,” he said.

Patrick Downes, Director of Planning, added: “Sean has amassed a great deal of relevant and diverse experience in the last few years, and will be a welcome addition to our team.

“His understanding of environmental impact and the associated considerations in particular will provide us with insight and make him a real asset when it comes to preparing thorough planning proposals on behalf of our clients.”
