Interview: JMG’s Nick Houghton – Painting the broking picture

Nick Houghton, CEO of JMG Group

JMG boss Nick Houghton prefers lists over spaghetti structures. He shares his passion for art, his approach to building the lauded Leeds-headquartered business and his route into insurance as well as the broad strokes of what comes next.

The current world record for a painting sold at auction is $450.3m for Salvator Mundi by Leonardo da Vinci which was snapped up by an anonymous buyer in 2017.

JMG Group CEO Nick Houghton originally wanted to go to art college. He still paints today, in oil, admiring the Scottish colourists.

Having studied Art History, Art Design and Physics for A levels he had secured a place but admits he “bottled it” in the end.
