Who we are
The SJH Group owns and brings together
St James’s House, SJH Studios, SJH Events, Artifice Press and Black Dog Press.
Each business has its own identity, expertise and commercial activities. The Group provides their shared corporate home: a place to tell our collective story, introduce our people and look towards our future.
Explore our businessesOur history & heritage
A 25-year story, shaped by specialist knowledge and the people behind it.
Our heritage spans publishing, film, events and institutional partnerships. Over time, the organisation has developed into a group of businesses with different editorial voices, creative disciplines and audiences.
The transition to employee ownership is a defining part of that journey. Today, our Employee Ownership Trust structure supports the Group’s long-term employee-owned identity, as the organisation combines its established strengths in media and publishing with an increasingly digital way of working.
