History
Drivers Jonas LLP was founded in London in 1725 by brothers, Samuel and Charles Driver - bakers, nurserymen and landowners who turned from tilling the land to measuring it.
The business prospered and branched out into auctioneering and estate management and “improvement”. Properties on the firm’s books included entire villages and towns such as Wetherby and Hemel Hempstead; landed estates such as Cliveden; and London properties such as the Vaudeville Theatre and a shop in New Bond Street (let to a Mr Asprey).
Over the years the firm has flourished, responding to market changes and expanding and developing its property advisory services. Today it is a multi-disciplinary practice of over 700 partners and staff, based in the West End and City of London, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Slough, Paris and Frankfurt.
During its history spanning more than 280 years, DJ has succeeded by embracing change; looking to the future while recognising the importance of continuity. Innovation and responsiveness to client demands are part of our culture. On 1 June 2008 Drivers Jonas converted to Drivers Jonas LLP.
