Jemima Corey was the assistant to Richard Drake, a hard-nosed clothing wholesaler of RJD Textiles and a potential client of Underworld. He had a fearsome reputation in the business and was one of the few people who unnerved Johnny Connor. He had a meeting with him and Jemima in February 2017 which he confessed to trainee manager Alya Nazir made him nervous, saying Drake was as difficult to crack as a cue ball.
