Commitment to our local community
Oliver Gregson
Today. We're excited to mark a significant milestone here at J.P. Morgan with the opening of our first ever office in Manchester.
Since the days of the industrial revolution Manchester has played a leading role in shaping the UK economy. With a growing population, thriving universities and transport hubs. Tens of thousands of enterprises in leading sectors like advanced manufacturing, digital and technology, life sciences and healthcare. It really is an exciting time for this region.
Khayyam Jumani
For the past decade I have been looking after entrepreneurs all across the country, especially in the north. Now as we set up this office, I am looking forward to spearheading and leading our team of advisers here, and bring our resources, our solutions, our specialist advisors and our global reach closer to our clients here in the north.

What we're looking forward to is being able to bring our portfolio managers to Manchester, to be able to hold events, outlooks and give in-depth analysis on what we're doing in our portfolios. This is going to be something which gives our clients more choice, and more ability to bespoke solutions to their personal needs.
Diana Robinson
We plan to become the trusted advisor to our clients through good times and bad and help them build the financial future and security for their families. We can’t wait to share new investment opportunities with our clients in Manchester.
Oliver Gregson
Our very own history and heritage here in the UK dates back nearly two hundred years, and extends with Manchester to 1887 when we led the Manchester ship canals preferred stock offering.
Our long-term commitment, today and in the future to addressing economic inclusion and equity, is underpinned by the specific knowledge, understanding and evidence of the challenges the communities face in the areas that we work and operate today.
Examples of this commitment here in Manchester include our support of low-income households working with Fair For All Finance, and the South Manchester Credit Union.
As well as two specific grants in the emergency support of the cost-of-living crisis to Centre Point and Feeding Britain in and around the greater Manchester area.
Khayyam Jumani
As we open doors here in the north and in Manchester, I really look forward to building and fostering strong partnerships with families and entrepreneurs here in the north, and also become an active member of the community.
Oliver Gregson
It is for these reasons and many more that I’m delighted to be bringing a dedicated team together and hub of resources under one roof, embarking on our journey in Manchester. I’m looking forward to welcoming you all in the not-too-distant future.

Meet the team
U.K. spotlight
Throughout the United Kingdom, businesses are being created, scaled and sold across a wide variety of sectors.
In this exclusive video series, we hear directly from U.K. Private Bank leaders as they unpack key stages of the exit process.
From evolution to exit
In this first episode, James Chilvers, our Head of UK Wealth Advisory, talks to Maricé Brown, UK Region Head, about how the firm empowers entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom.
Maricé Brown: We’re doing a lot for entrepreneurs right now at the J.P. Morgan level — not only at the Private Bank, but I think the fact that we are present here in the U.K. from an Investment Banking perspective, a Commercial Banking perspective… we’re in a unique position to help those entrepreneurs, especially when they’re just starting, in thinking about raising money, exiting, but also planning for the future.
And so, I think that combo we provide to our clients, in terms of the types of advice on different fronts of their lives, is highly valuable for them in a place like the U.K., where a lot is happening right now. The promise here of growth, development and potential exits is really high, and we’re here to serve them along the way.
James Chilvers: We’ve had a presence in the U.K. for over 170 years, working with business, families and entrepreneurs from across the country. Our presence in Manchester, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Bournemouth — and the number of people we employ in the U.K. — demonstrates our commitment as an organisation to the U.K.
We are there on the whole journey for our U.K. entrepreneurial clients and families as they think through the meaning and purpose of their business and wealth is, and how they’re going to build a strategy around succession to that business, or indeed, potentially an exit from that business in the medium to long term.
MB: There’s another thing that comes up in a lot of these conversations with families, especially when it’s first-time entrepreneurs selling their businesses and going thorough exit, which is: how much is enough?
JC: I think it’s really interesting. As we speak to entrepreneurs from around the country, so few people know what their number is. So what is the amount that our family needs as a safety net or an iron reserve to continue to meet our lifestyle needs for the rest of our days? And that’s a piece of work that we regularly help and support our clients in identifying.
MB: And that’s the power of a global firm at the end of the day. When we think about bringing global resources to a local market, I think that’s one of the benefits of working with a bank like us.
JC: We are very keen to ensure that our entrepreneurial clients are surrounded by the right kinds of advisors, and often we will be asked to help them discover who those might be. We have a fantastic network of third-party intermediaries — lawyers, accountants, and others — who can be introduced to our entrepreneurial clients and support them on that journey. To ensure that they’re taking the sort of, right independent tax advice as they approach a potential business exit is absolutely crucial, and we can really help them surround themselves with the right team there.
We live in an age where things are changing fast, and not every next generation wants to take over the family business. One of the things that many business owners will think about is what legacy are they going to leave behind. What are the values that underpin the business that we founded and have grown? And what is our vision and purpose for that business, and maybe the wealth that could be generated from it?
