After selling Alexander Mann, I launched Hamilton Bradshaw to be the leading advisor for investment in UK recruitment businesses. My firm belief is that people truly transform staffing businesses and therefore, at HB, we don’t look at investments in ideas, products or business plans – we see opportunities in people.

After more than 15 years, HB has become the UK’s number one choice for recruitment. As a result, our client base includes some of the world’s fastest growing recruitment companies with over 550 staff and a portfolio annual turnover in excess of £150 million. I have hired the industry’s best to work with our clients to accelerate growth and, today, we have more than 100 years of combined experience in staffing.

As HB has developed, I have also expanded our service offerings to companies in the real estate sector, again focusing on identifying opportunities where the right entrepreneurs are in place to take their companies to the next level. Our knowledge and expertise are unparalleled to scale the businesses in which we provide services to and this is only enhanced by the intellectual capacity we have in our network of more than 30 CEOs across our portfolio.
