Chief Executive Officer
James Caan, Chief Executive Officer, is one of the UK’s most successful entrepreneurs, with an admirable track record investing in, and building, companies.
James’s first taste of success came from the recruitment company he founded in his twenties, Alexander Mann, which he grew to an enterprise value of £130 million. Since then, he has worked alongside business leaders to deliver dynamic growth and impressive returns on investments (ROI) at an early age, James learned two very important lessons while watching his late father work long hours, seven days a week to make a success of his textile business.
He quickly concluded that nothing can be achieved without, first and foremost, dedication and effort. He also realised that there was little point in working hard if you can’t find the time to enjoy the fruits of your labour and, where possible, be able to give something back.
James’ passion remains in building successful businesses and investing in people rather than just their ideas. He has always demonstrated ability to spot talent, and subsequently takes great pleasure in seeing those he invests in, grow and achieve their ambitions.
He continues to lead our business and his media profile speaks for itself.
