About Us.
We empower entrepreneurs and emerging businesses with the guidance, structure and hands-on support they need to grow with confidence, overcome challenges and build strong foundations for long-term success.
Origins and Evolution.
The seeds of our vision were sown way back in 1996. Richard Christie and Tony Pickup formed their first business together which was to become Qualitymark Protection Ltd (one of the largest deposit protection and insurance backed guarantee brokers in the UK) and embarked on a mission to redefine and bolster consumer protection within the home improvement sector. Over two decades, this mission helped launch a plethora of businesses most aimed at providing safeguards to consumers.
In 2017 Jarion Ltd was formed, originally to hold shares in these businesses, but now is dedicated to sharing our learning and actively nurturing innovative business ideas by dedicating resources, funding and advice to promising and ethical entrepreneurs, helping them transform their ideas into flourishing businesses.
Our Team.
While Richard and Tony provide strategic oversight, they are ably supported by a robust team of in-house experts.
Our Approach.
We believe in the power of collaboration and in-depth planning. We collaborate with entrepreneurs, meticulously crafting business plans and profit-loss projections. These are then reviewed and vetted by the senior leadership team at Jarion, ensuring that each venture we decide to work with aligns with our goals and values.
Who We Work With.
Our doors are open to a broad spectrum of investments from fresh entrepreneurs brimming with ideas to established businesses seeking a new direction. We are always on the lookout for potential collaborations that resonate with our ethos and values.
Our Services.
At Jarion, we pride ourselves on being an ‘all embracing’ solution for new enterprises and businesses who need some help or want to expand. Whether you just need finance, in-house expertise, or assistance from our Senior Leadership Team or trusted partners, we ensure that every requirement is investigated, fostering smooth operations and sustainable growth.
Looking Ahead.
As we look to the future, our vision is clear. We aim to be the driving force behind an array of varied businesses, solidifying our reputation as not just investors but as cultivators of innovation and excellence.
