Über mich
My passion is building businesses and backing talented people. I have been building and selling businesses since 1985 and I think it is important to invest in people rather than just products or businesses. I'm a great believer that it is people who create a successful business through their passion and conviction. I’ve always believed “It’s your attitude, not your aptitude that determines your altitude”. Founder and Chairman of Recruitment Entrepreneur - the number one investor to build and exit recruitment businesses. Founder of private equity firm Hamilton Bradshaw (HB) - a management advisory company that specialises in seed capital and growth capital for service-based businesses such as recruitment, real estate, business services and property investment.
