Regional housebuilder Harron Homes has promoted Jonathan Edwards to the role of Technical Director for its Yorkshire region.

The 36 year old from Leeds has worked for Harron for almost 10 years, joining as an architectural technician in 2014. In 2018 he briefly worked elsewhere as technical manager, but missed the faster pace and volume at Harron and shortly returned to the company as architectural manager.

Jonathan commented, “I'm absolutely delighted to receive this promotion, it's what I've been working towards since I got to work in an architecture firm for work experience at school.”

Jonathan studied Architecture at Leeds Beckett University and after four years working in residential architecture firms made the move into housebuilding.

Having grown up in the area, Jonathan was familiar with the Harron name.

“I'm thrilled to be advancing my career at Harron; I love that it's a family owned business with a very hands on senior team so you're never just a number and can actually make a difference.

“Knowing I've had a lasting impact on the environment around me is incredibly satisfying; spotting a development I had a hand in building on Google Streetview is always going to be a career highlight.”

Jonathan is looking forward to embracing his new responsibilities.

“Having worked my way up the company, I'm confident I understand the business and can have a positive impact on the way we work as a team. It's a great opportunity to make some changes and streamline the way we operate.

“My new role will involve more strategy as it encompasses the architectural, planning, and engineering teams. Every day is different; from managing the pre-development process, preparing land bids, and working on planning applications.

“It's been an incredible year for getting projects over the line, lots of large scale developments like Harlington, Wetwang and Barnsley are in progress, and I can't wait to see what the next 12 months hold.”

James Poynor, Group Managing Director said, “Jonathan is a real asset to the Harron team, and we're delighted that he's accepted the role of Technical Director. We're sure he'll achieve great things in developing Harron's offerings across Yorkshire.”
