Which Dragon's Den investor founded the recruitment company AMS?

Dragon's Den investor James Caan founded the recruitment company AMS.

Caan established Alexander Mann Solutions, commonly known as AMS, in 1986. The company specialised in recruitment and talent-management services, helping organisations find, assess, and manage employees. It grew from a recruitment business into a large international provider of workforce solutions.

Caan became a prominent British entrepreneur and investor, later joining the Dragon's Den panel. His professional background differed from that of Dragons known mainly for retail, manufacturing, or consumer products: recruitment and human resources were central to his career.

AMS is sometimes confused with similarly named recruitment agencies because “Alexander Mann” is also a personal name. The company’s formal name is Alexander Mann Solutions, while AMS is its widely used shortened name. James Caan’s involvement with it predates his television career and is the key fact linking him to the company.
