Carter Towler announces senior promotion

Commercial property consultancy Carter Towler has promoted James Jackson to associate director, five years after he joined the firm as a graduate.

James has established himself as a key member of the consultancy’s office agency team, contributing to its success across the Leeds commercial property market.

His work has helped the team secure several industry accolades, including recognition as Leeds’ most active agent at the 2025 CoStar Awards.

He has also been individually named the most active dealmaker in Yorkshire and Humberside.

James is currently involved in several major office instructions across Leeds, including 8 St Paul’s Street, where approximately 9200sq ft of Grade A accommodation is available following redevelopment.

Other projects include 3 Embankment, which offers around 35,000sq ft of refurbished riverside office space, and the next phase of leasing at White Rose Park.

James said: “I’m really pleased to have been promoted to associate director and to have reached this point after five years with Carter Towler.

“Joining as a graduate gave me the opportunity to learn from some very experienced people and develop my career within a business with a great reputation in the Yorkshire market.

“The last few years have been incredibly busy and I’m looking forward to building on that momentum, taking on more responsibility and continuing to deliver strong results for our clients.”

Established 75 years ago, Carter Towler employs around 60 people across offices in Leeds, York and Durham.

The consultancy provides commercial property agency, management, building consultancy and valuation services, managing more than 5000 properties nationwide.

Clem McDowell, office agency director at Carter Towler, added: “James has come a long way since joining us as a graduate five years ago and his promotion to associate director is thoroughly deserved. 

“He has become a key member of our agency team, and his track record speaks for itself. 

“His recognition by Estates Gazette and CoStar is testament to the volume and quality of deals he is delivering, while he has also built strong relationships with clients who trust him to get the job done.

“It is fantastic to see him progress through the business and I’m looking forward to seeing what he achieves in the next stage of his career with Carter Towler.”
