About Us

Our Tribe

Meet The Tribe

JP has a unique and progressive approach to the concept of “Team”. We call it the JP “Tribe”: a hand-picked tribe of professional, experienced, versatile and sincere people who are passionate and determined to ‘make an impact’ within and through JP. 

Our Tribe comprises permanent team members who form our stable and dependable backbone. Bringing flexibility, breadth and depth to our Tribe are our JP Partners: individuals and organisations that we know, trust and respect; who bring complementary and often specialist knowledge, wisdom and skill.
