About Us
Who are the Jack Lunn Group?
For more than seven decades, The Jack Lunn Group has been shaping communities across Yorkshire. As one of the region’s largest and most successful privately owned property and development groups, we manage a diverse portfolio of assets valued at approximately £25 million. Built on a legacy of quality, integrity and long-term investment, we continue to deliver exceptional developments that stand the test of time.
Founded by Jack Lunn in 1949, The Jack Lunn Group has grown from its origins as a respected construction company into one of Yorkshire’s leading privately owned property and development businesses. More than 70 years later, we remain proudly 100% family-owned, combining decades of experience with a long-term commitment to quality, integrity and sustainable growth.
Today, the Group comprises a diverse range of companies specialising in commercial and residential development, alongside a substantial investment portfolio spanning office, retail, leisure and industrial property.
Our success has always been built on the same principles: trust, quality and lasting relationships. We combine traditional family values with a responsive, hands-on approach, enabling us to make decisions quickly and work flexibly with landowners, vendors, tenants and development partners.
Operating from our Head Office in Stanningley, we bring extensive expertise across every stage of the property lifecycle. Whether acquiring land, delivering new developments or managing investment properties, we are committed to providing the highest standards of professionalism, service and attention to detail.
As a family-owned business, every project benefits from direct involvement at Director level. This ensures clear communication, efficient decision-making and a personal commitment to delivering successful outcomes for our clients, tenants and partners.
The relationships we have built over generations are at the heart of everything we do. They are founded on trust, transparency and a shared ambition to create developments and investments that deliver long-term value for the communities we serve.

Andrew Lunn
Chairman
Andrew Lunn represents the third generation of the Lunn family and has dedicated more than four decades to the family business. He joined the construction company in 1982, beginning his career as an apprentice Carpenter & Joiner, gaining practical, hands-on experience that would form the foundation of his leadership.
From an early stage, Andrew demonstrated the drive, technical knowledge and leadership qualities that would shape his future within the business. By the age of 19, he was already managing a new commercial development in Wetherby, taking on significant responsibility at the start of what would become a distinguished career.
Working alongside his grandfather, Jack Lunn, his father, Roy Lunn, and his uncles, Graham and Derek, Andrew developed an exceptional understanding of construction, property development and investment. Learning from generations of experience, he embraced the family values of quality craftsmanship, integrity and long-term relationships that continue to define the Group today.
Rather than taking shortcuts, Andrew built his career by progressing through every level of the business. From Site Manager and Contracts Manager to Construction Director and Managing Director of Jack Lunn Limited, he gained first-hand experience across every aspect of construction and development, earning the respect of colleagues, clients and industry partners alike.
Today, as Chairman of The Jack Lunn Group, Andrew leads the continued growth and strategic direction of the business. His hands-on approach, combined with decades of industry expertise and a firm belief that clear communication is the foundation of strong relationships, ensures the Group remains true to the principles established by its founder in 1949 while continuing to invest in the future.
Under Andrew’s leadership, the Jack Lunn Group continues to build on its reputation for quality, trust and long-term success across Yorkshire’s property and development sector.
