Job Description

Location/Division: Oxford

About the Firm

Brown&Co was formed in 1993 following a management buyout from Royal Life Estates. Since then, the firm has grown substantially and today we are a leading provider of agency, professional and consultancy services across the whole range of rural, commercial and residential property, agriculture and the environment.



From an increasing network of offices throughout East Anglia, the Midlands and the Yorkshire and Humber region, as well as overseas, we combine a high level of specialist technical expertise with experience and local knowledge.



The firm has a real commitment to build strong, proactive, and long-term relationships with both corporate and private clients, for whom we always strive to deliver the best results and total satisfaction.



Following the merger and acquisition with the rural firm Adkin in 2025, our Oxford office is based in the picturesque village of Ardington on the Lockinge Estate.



Prior to the acquisition Adkin was originally established in 1793 and has transformed over the years from an auctioneer and printing firm to the highly regarded Oxford-based rural surveying and development practice it is today.



The business is built on an in-depth knowledge of the environment in which it works, and the firm's links forged with the farming and rural community. The team specialise in providing a range of rural land agency services, residential and commercial lettings and sales and agricultural business management consultancy.
