Grant McEwan

Grant is now living a life on his terms as a Property Developer & Investor, loving what he does! But it’s not always been that way.

For years Grant slogged away in high pressure Corporate Sales roles, and whilst he made good money for himself, and the people he worked for, he grew to hate it. Being told what to wear, where to be, what to say, what not to say, along with being made redundant on 3 separate occasions was the driving force to him wanting to create a new life.

Sick of the Corporate “Rat Race” and with just a £3,000 credit card, Grant left his job in his mid 30’s to get stuck in to the Property Industry. Something he’d always wanted to do since being a young boy. Grant started by sourcing below market value (BMV) deals and selling them to other investors for a finders fee which meant he replaced his income within just 3 months!! Fast forward to now (5 years later) and Grant runs multiple property businesses with the groups’ main focus of buying commercial buildings and converting them into apartment blocks.

With a rapidly growing portfolio and an aim to own 300 properties within the next 3 years, Grant is becoming known as one of the most driven people in the industry.

Grant is passionate to deliver everything in house to ensure the perfect build on every development, Grant heads up; the development, construction & project management businesses.

Grants rule is to work hard but have fun whilst doing it!

Started with nothing, Building a Property Empire, Having Fun

Gemma McEwan

Gemma had always worked in a high pressured Account Management role involving a lot of travel and had always had the desire to work for herself and run her own businesses. This feeling was especially highlighted after having children when work would take her away from her family for long hours at a time.

Just a few months after their youngest daughter was born, Gemma made the decision to leave her job to work alongside Grant in the his newly formed property business which was already proving to be successful.

Having a family background in property development, Gemma had always wanted to get into the industry for herself. Having children made her realise that working so many hours to live for the weekend was not the life she wanted to lead.
Property development has given Gemma the opportunity to do something she has always been excited about and also makes family life so much less of a juggle. Both Grant and Gemma love the fact that one of them can do the school runs every day.

Gemma heads up the property trading business where she buys, adds value then flips properties, she flipping loves it! 🙂

Gemma shares Grants vision for success which is why she says they are able to work and live together 24/7 without killing each other!!

Grant and Gemma have BIG BIG Plans!
