}}Jamie B. Waller (born 21 February 1979) is a British entrepreneur and businessman. He founded the debt collection company JBW Group and later the private equity firm Firestarters, where he serves as chief executive.[1]

Early life and education

He left Raine's Foundation School with no qualifications.[2]

Career

Waller started working as debt collector but quit at the age of 21, planning to travel the world for a year. In Australia he started a business building and selling camper vans for other tourists.[3]

Waller founded JBW Group in 2004. In 2014 the firm attempted unsuccessfully to obtain a legal injunction preventing the BBC from airing a Panorama episode critical of the company's practices.[4] In 2015 the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges against a man arrested for allegedly assaulting a JBW bailiff, concluding that the bailiff was trespassing and that the man was within his rights to use reasonable force to eject him.[5] In 2017 he sold the business to the Japanese company Outsourcing Inc. Waller founded the financial services technology company Hito six days after selling JBW Group. In 2017 the company was also sold to Outsourcing Inc.[6] Waller founded the private equity business Firestarters in 2017.[1]

Media

Waller featured in the BBC's Bailiffs TV show for two years beginning in 2000 along with other members of WiseHill and JBW staff. He also featured in the followup show The Enforcers and in the debt advice show Beat the Bailiff.[4][7][8]

Waller's first book was published in 2018.
