08 Jan 2025
Lichfields has strengthened the senior leadership team in its Manchester office with the promotion of Brian O’Connor to Senior Director.
Over the past 15 years, Brian has accumulated extensive experience in planning and development across the North West of England and North Wales.
Brian’s work spans the residential, industrial, logistics and energy sectors. He specialises in promoting strategic sites through the Local Plan process and preparing planning applications for major developments, including for many of the leading housebuilders.
 
Brian’s promotion to Senior Director reflects his success in fostering highly productive client relationships and his detailed knowledge of the North West market. The office is in very good shape, and we have ambitious plans to grow.

In his new role, Brian will work alongside fellow Senior Directors, Simon Pemberton and Rebecca Caines. They are supported by a team of 25 people, based in offices on King Street in Manchester City Centre.

 

I am thrilled to step up into this new role and am grateful to our clients that employ our services and the great team of people I work with. We are expecting a busy year ahead and I am looking forward to working with existing and new clients as the planning reforms start to take effect.

Brian O’Connor, Senior Director
