Sapphire is pleased to announce that QPLAY Ltd has become the first portfolio company to join our strategic collaboration with JP Jenkins.
This marks an important milestone in our partnership with JP Jenkins and represents the first practical delivery of a structured market liquidity solution for a Sapphire-backed business.
Introducing QPlay

Delivering on Our Commitment to Portfolio Support
At Sapphire, we are committed to actively supporting the long-term growth and success of our funds and portfolio companies. That support extends beyond capital - to governance, operational expertise and innovative capital solutions.
Supporting Qplay demonstrates how we are enhancing liquidity pathways for portfolio companies in a structured and proportionate manner.
This is an important first step in our collaboration with JP Jenkins, and we look forward to supporting additional portfolio companies where this model is appropriate.
Through our collaboration with JP Jenkins, QPLAY has aims to join the PISCES based JP Jenkins Private Market providing a regulated venue for intermittent secondary trading of shares.
The JP Jenkins Private Market enables:
-
Intermittent trading events (up to 12 per year)
-
Company-controlled trading windows
-
Minimum and maximum price parameters
-
Permissioned participation where appropriate
-
A structured disclosure framework
This provides shareholders with the opportunity to realise value in a controlled and transparent environment, without the need for a public listing.
