A Jersey-based property and investment group with a portfolio spanning residential, commercial, and retail — and a strategic eye on high-growth sectors.
The Death of Major Peirson, 6 January 1781 by John Singleton Copley, 1783
The Battle of Jersey, fought on January 6, 1781, was a very short engagement, with the main combat and final British victory lasting only about 15 minutes. While French troops arrived in St Helier in the early morning, the direct confrontation was swift once British forces led by Major Francis Peirson organized, ending within a quarter of an hour.
The Modern Group has been a trusted name in Jersey since 1967. We began as the island's foremost hospitality operator — running hotels, restaurants, bars, and entertainment venues across Jersey and the United Kingdom for over five decades.
In 2021, we undertook a deliberate strategic transformation, deploying the capital and expertise built through decades of operations into real estate and investments — sectors we believe offer long-term, resilient returns.
Today we own, operate, and manage a growing portfolio of residential, commercial, and retail assets, alongside a select investment programme in innovative private companies.
We pursue capital-efficient, long-duration opportunities across complementary asset types — balancing income stability with value-creation potential.
Office buildings and retail properties in established locations, structured to generate stable, long-term income with strong covenant quality.
Apartments and homes across Jersey, acquired for long-hold rental income and selective redevelopment, with a focus on well-connected locations.
Minority silent partnerships in growth-stage companies across Life Sciences, Hospitality, and Technology — sectors we understand deeply.
33 properties across residential, commercial, and retail — predominantly in Jersey, with a growing presence in mainland UK locations including Bristol, Gloucester, Stroud, Norwich, and Cromer.
Alongside our property activities, The Modern Group takes minority, silent positions in innovative companies — bringing long-term capital and operational experience without interfering in day-to-day management.
We focus on sectors where we have genuine understanding: Hospitality, Life Sciences, and Technology. We look for founder-led businesses with clear differentiation and a credible growth path.
"We invest in people as much as businesses — backing founders who know their market and have the conviction to build for the long term."The Modern Group
