James Sanders London-based businesses and philanthropic work
Swapping higher education for learning the basics of trading, James Sanders has never been one for the traditional. This led to success in the City at a relatively young age, culminating in his business growing to become the biggest independent derivatives broker in the country.
Having left the City in 2009, James turned his attention to entrepreneurship, art, and investment. Over the last ten years he has been working on his art, developing a style that is now getting attention from various London galleries. He says: “My work is generally hyper-realistic and energetic. I’m really pleased that there is a growing demand for my pieces – it’s an aspect of my life that I intend to continue working on.”
A non-traditional businessman with active interests in different sectors
James launched London Diamonds to capture part of the £8.3 billion global market in engagement rings. The company specialises in bespoke engagement rings and offers the finest quality jewels to consumers in an innovative way. By cutting out the middle man and the traditional jeweller’s mark-ups, London Diamond produces super high-quality jewellery at a fair price.
The company’s customer base has grown organically through Instagram and consumer reviews. “We don’t rely on advertising,” says James. “Our clients do the talking for us – and their feedback is all that matters.”
This approach is typical of James’ career. Innovative, disruptive and out of the ordinary – his unique take on business pays off.
