A descendant of William H Brown, who founded the estate agency that still bears his name, has joined the company as a valuer.

Arthur Brown, now working for the William H Brown office in Lincoln, is the great great great grandson of William Henry Brown, who began trading in 1890, offering an auctions and valuation service.

William H Brown is now part of Connells Group Sequence brand.

Arthur Brown, previously a property manager with Belvoir, said: “It was always in the back of my mind that I would love to work for William H Brown, so when the opportunity came up, I jumped at it.”
