Jordan took over the business in 2020 just after the first lockdown. Having lived in London previously, he moved back to Tring in 2018, firstly opening Loft 68 Vintage clothing (located above Graces) before taking over Graces from Gilbert and more recently has opened a guesthouse above the shop too!
