Hamilton Bradshaw Real Estate has appointed Graham Emmett as Non-Executive Director, further strengthening its leadership team, following the recent appointment of Alastair Carmichael to lead its real estate lending strategy.
Graham brings more than 40 years of experience in the UK and European property markets, having co-founded Atelier Capital Partners in 2019 where he scaled the platform to £300m AUM before stepping down in 2023.

At Hamilton Bradshaw Real Estate, Graham will work closely with James Caan CBE, Principal Investor and founder of Hamilton Bradshaw, and Alastair Carmichael, Head of Real Estate Lending. He will be overseeing the real estate lending strategy, supporting the firm’s mission to provide bespoke real estate lending solutions secured against prime UK and European property, with a focus on selective deal origination, robust security structures, and strong alignment with investors.
Commenting on his appointment, Graham Emmett said:
“What attracted me to Hamilton Bradshaw Real Estate is its focus on quality over quantity. The platform takes a disciplined approach to lending — backing only well-structured opportunities and doing so with full alignment alongside investors. I look forward to bringing my experience to the table and helping shape the next phase of its growth.”
