The pair have experience working with Northern developers such as Caddick, Evans Property, and CDP Marshall.
Scott Harkness, head of commercial, Carter Jonas, said: “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 commented: “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 & Logistics teams nationally and in particular in the North of England.”
Harris added: “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.”
