JSH PROJECT MANAGEMENT LIMITED

What JSH PROJECT MANAGEMENT LIMITED does

JSH Project Management Limited is a UK-based, founder-owned private limited company founded in 2005 that provides end-to-end ("360°") turnkey project management services for construction, fit-out, and refurbishment projects. Its service offering spans design and build management, cost planning and procurement, risk management, information and communication management, and logistical organisation, delivered to clients primarily in the higher education, hospitality, retail chain, and fitness sectors. Notable clients include the University of Kent, the University of Leeds, Costa Coffee, Ladbrokes, and Fitness 4 Less, with relationships on some accounts spanning over nine years and one multi-site rebranding programme covering 600 fascias in 12 weeks.

The company generates revenue through professional service fees on a per-project basis, with engagement scopes ranging from individual developments to large-scale multi-site roll-outs. Its go-to-market is relationship-driven, built substantially through word-of-mouth referrals and client recommendations rather than formal marketing. JSH operates from two UK offices — in London (Aldgate East) and Swansea — and is led by Managing Directors John Holley and Matthew Fletcher, who also co-created the related Café Maia eco-friendly café franchise sub-brand, including branded consumables, uniforms, and interior product lines. The core technology stack is described as project management and design coordination systems, with no proprietary software, AI, or digital platform evident.

The business model is that of a boutique professional services firm: bespoke engagements, no publicly disclosed pricing, no app or API product surface, and no external funding. The company is privately held by its founders and shows no evidence of institutional investors, subsidiaries, M&A activity, patents, awards, or regulatory actions in the available data.
