A founder-led group with an operator’s mindset.
We build the brands, and we operate them.
From paving slabs in Devon to a group of brands.
Building is in the family. Generations ago in Devon, England, founder Joshua Heywood’s grandfather and father ran Heywoods, manufacturing paving slabs — quite literally in the business of laying foundations.
That same entrepreneurial instinct carried forward. JHE Group began with a single business in Oman and grew into a group that still operates there, and that is building recruitment software.
What drives us is a way of working: build for the long term, run with discipline, and back the people who deliver. Today the group operates Nomad Tours, Oman Car Hire, Elevate, and Wasel Motors in Oman, and is building FindCV and MediJobs — recruitment software reaching customers across the Gulf, Asia and beyond.
