About James Caan

James is the founder and CEO of Hamilton Bradshaw, based in Mayfair,
London. The company was founded in 2004 and specialises in buyouts,
venture capital, turnarounds, and real estate investment in the UK.

James knew from a young age that he wanted to run his own business.
His father was probably his biggest influence, owning a successful
leather goods manufacturing business which he hoped James would one day
take over. James decided not to pursue a career in the family business
and instead followed his own path to become an entrepreneur. At sixteen
he left school with no qualifications. Despite this, in the mid 1980′s,
he began a successful career in recruitment. Just a few years later
James founded Alexander Mann, a UK recruitment business which he
successfully grew to £130m turnover with 30 offices worldwide. During
the same period, he was keen to explore the international market and
launched Humana International, a franchising model, establishing 147
offices in 30 countries. He subsequently sold both businesses in 1999.

In 2007, James was invited to join the panel of the highly popular
BBC TV show Dragons’ Den. During his time on the show, he invested in a
diverse range of businesses and as a result increased his profile in the
media. James has always believed that the UK is an excellent platform
for British entrepreneurs, and that advances in technology provide them
with many more opportunities than when he started out. He is hugely
passionate about the SME sector and understands the challenges they face
at each stage of their lifecycle.
