About
Jakey Group

A family business, backing the next chapter of yours.

Founded by Rory and Gemma Dear, Jakey Group is a family business that acquires, supports and grows established companies. We take a personal, long-term approach to ownership, working with the people who know each business best - to maintain the ethos, culture and legacy of their founder's vision post-sale.

As husband-and-wife co-founders, we’re building Jakey Group together.
