We kicked off a multi-year research project with 1000+ local independents and 50+ industry experts to answer the question ‘what does it take to succeed on the high street?’ Within 3 months, the decision was made to start building JO.
JO is brought to you by the team behind SaveTheHighStreet.org, a 6-year-old industry movement changing high streets for the better. Our shared mission brought us together and we’ve helped build hundreds of successful businesses in this market.
We believe in a future of diverse, thriving high streets led by local independents that unlock their potential. JO exists to make this a reality; helping retailers, restaurants, salons, cafes, galleries, gyms, pubs, barbers, bakers, makers, market traders and other high street entrepreneurs succeed, at every stage of their journey.

We kicked off a multi-year research project with 1000+ local independents and 50+ industry experts to answer the question ‘what does it take to succeed on the high street?’ Within 3 months, the decision was made to start building JO.
Version 1 of JO launched and soon after was being rolled-out on dozens of high streets by councils, landlords and community champions to help their local businesses survive, adapt and even grow through the lockdown-era high street.
Version 2 of JO harnesses unique insights into what’s working on the post-Covid high street. New features, content, solutions and automations enable JO to do more work for less £, transforming the economics of local business support forever.
All high street entrepreneurs can now apply to join JO. From pre-launch startups to fast-growing scaleups and everyone in between. This is only the beginning. JO is getting better all the time, helping more and more businesses succeed, the easy way.
