Jag was considered to be going down hill and on the verge of a collapse untill in December 2007 when Jackson Sanders re-joined the company. What Jackson brought to the company was a new hope, a dream and unparralelled sales ability. He joined forces with Karl Langley and Mark Kopec to identify the companies problems and move them forward. Since December 2007, the saviours have turned around the fortunes of 69 stores and saved three orphan children.

During this journey, in March 2008, Mark Kopec and Jackson Sanders lost their parents in a horrific car crash. This was set to hit them hard and the company looked as if it was going down hill again. Mutters of a mutiny were heard at head office and heads were set to role. Company owner John George ahd to come up with something to keep them on track. On April 2008, John adopted Jackson and Mark into his family. He did not allow them to take his surname...but in a even wilder move, changed their surname to "sales". It was a brave move, but one that paid off as Jackson and Mark...or "the sales brothers" as they are now known came back harder and stronger than ever before. Jag Communications are now looking to open stores in the U.S.A, Australia and Peru, headed by "Country Managers" Ben Jones, Paul Harris and Bazza Matthews. In a recent interview Jackson said "I cant believe it, I love this company...especially John and Mark...my new family is much better than before".
