MEET THE OWNERS

Hopefully you will have seen our double-page company profile in the EADT the other week, so you probably already know that the Jacob Bailey Group is under new management?

Yes, we're very excited, and yes, it kind of heralds a new era at Jacob Bailey and White Space, but has anything really changed?

Well, yes and no... Shaun's still the chief exec and majority shareholder, but White Space directors, Neil and Will (pictured), and JB directors, Mark and Rob, have each bought a 10% ownership stake in the company with assistance from Finance East.

Will comments:

"The opportunity arose to invest in the business and we jumped at it. It's a company we all really believe in, so the decision was easy to make."

Signs of economic recovery have been thin on the ground in 2011, but JB and White Space have managed to buck this trend with a clear, concise and creative approach to marketing, design and PR. Neil certainly doesn't view the investment as a risk...

"We've been very successful this year, winning lots of new clients and achieving some outstanding results for them. We're now looking forward to 2012 and playing a part in steering Suffolk's creative industry towards a bright future."
