Why talk to JJR

A founder who has
built and sold before.

Jonathan Thursby founded EV Offshore in Norwich in 1999 and grew it into an international downhole-camera business with private-equity backing. Enersol completed its acquisition of the business in 2024. Read the EV story ↗

That experience shapes how JJR approaches investment: a defined business, real evidence, a clear use of capital and a working plan reviewed against actual trading. How conversations begin ↗
