From Pop Star to Property Mogul: Jason Orange's Unexpected Career Shift

Jason Orange's New Venture

Former Take That star Jason Orange has embarked on a surprising new business venture. After leaving the band in 2014, Orange has largely stayed out of the public eye. Now, at 54, he has partnered with former Leicester City player and Celtic manager Neil Lennon to co-own a property business called Nine The Firs.

Orange, who left the band to lead a more private life, has reportedly shown a real flair for property. Despite stepping away from the music scene, he has been involved in property management since 2004, according to Companies House. Lennon joined as a director in November 2024 after being dismissed from his managerial role at Omonia Nicosia.

The friendship between Orange and Lennon blossomed after they met during a charity football match. In the decade since his departure from Take That, Orange has expressed gratitude for his time with the band and the support of their loyal fans. He stated, "I have spent some of the best years of my life with Take That..."

The Take That Legacy

Orange acknowledged the band's achievements, especially their successful comeback in 2005, and emphasized that his decision to leave was not due to any falling outs with his bandmates. He fully supports their continued work in music.

Since Orange's exit, the remaining members have released two albums, Wonderland and This Life, with the latter receiving critical acclaim. Orange's journey from pop star to property entrepreneur showcases the diverse paths that careers can take after fame.
