James co-founded Clifton Private Finance in 2016, driven by the increasing demand for specialised property finance solutions in the United Kingdom.

With a career in UK finance dating back to the 1990s, James embarked on his entrepreneurial journey by co-founding the Fair Investment Company in 2000.

He was an early adopter of the internet as a potent tool for propelling businesses in the UK's savings and investment sector.

Leveraging his marketing acumen, he went on to co-establish enterprises in both the mortgage and property development spheres.

Today, James coheads a dedicated team of over 30 professionals. The company has carved out a niche in the UK and European property lending landscape, offering an array of financial solutions.

These include bridging and development finance, high-net-worth residential and commercial mortgages, mortgages for expatriates and foreign nationals, and tailored business finance options.
