Jon joins in a permanent capacity following a six month stint as Interim Project Director at the time of the Countrywide acquisition, where he supported the successful integration of the business. In his new role, he takes on a range of responsibilities including heading up the Group’s conveyancing businesses, managing key commercial relationships, supporting the continued growth and development of the Group by identifying and leading acquisition and investment opportunities. Jon will take the lead on significant projects across the Group and also joins the Connells Ltd Board.

“I am extremely proud and delighted to join Connells Group on a permanent basis after helping with the Countrywide acquisition in 2021,” says Jon. “I‘ve known the business for almost twenty years and have always been impressed by the quality of the team and their determination to succeed. I look forward to doing my bit to realise the huge opportunity we have in front of us.”

He joined Findaproperty as sales director in 2005 shortly after its acquisition by Daily Mail Group, which was merged with PrimeLocation in 2008 to form the Digital Property Group (DPG), before moving to Zoopla in 2011 where he played a key role in the merger of Zoopla and DPG and Zoopla’s subsequent IPO in 2014.
