James Caan founded the recruitment firm Hamilton Bradshaw.
Hamilton Bradshaw was established by Caan in 1987 as a private-equity and investment business. His earlier career was strongly connected with recruitment, and the firm invested in and supported companies across sectors including recruitment, business services and healthcare.
Caan joined Dragon's Den as a Dragon in the second series, succeeding Simon Woodroffe on the regular panel. His investment style and business background made recruitment a recurring part of his public entrepreneurial identity.
The company should not be confused with Caan's earlier recruitment ventures, including Alexander Mann Solutions, which he founded before later selling his interest. Hamilton Bradshaw is the specific firm associated with the question and with his investment activities.
