National property consultancy Carter Jonas said it has appointed Simon McConnell as head of its Oxford office, taking over from Steven Sensecall who leads the firm’s south and south west Planning and Development team.

McConnell joined Carter Jonas in 2019 as head of residential in Oxford and has more than 30 years of experience in the property industry.

Steven Sensecall, head of planning and development south and south west at Carter Jonas, said: "Simon joined Carter Jonas five years ago and quickly became an integral member of our leadership team. He is passionate about the built environment and a trusted adviser to clients as well as colleagues, and it is a pleasure to hand over to him.

"His energy, commitment to our sector, and understanding of the role we can all play in supporting Oxfordshire’s development will be invaluable as we embark on the next stage of our growth strategy."
McConnell added: "Our Oxford office has grown significantly under Steven’s leadership, and I look forward to working with him and the rest of the incredible team based in Mayfield House to continue to grow our business here.

"Oxford is one of our principal hubs outside of London, and our multi-disciplinary team is uniquely placed to advise and support clients on the wealth of opportunities in the region."
