OUR TEAM

Graham Chaston
CEO
Graham enjoyed a 20 year career at NatWest Bank. The last 10 years of his career as The Business Development Director in London and South East Region covering commercial and corporate businesses. With stints in credit and structured finance, this has provided Graham with the skill set to look at complex cases and make decisions very quickly.
Since leaving NatWest in 2019, Graham created and set up a finance company on behalf of a UAE Royal Family office, and in 2021 due to demand from his many loyal banking clients created Empire Capital Solutions.
His vision for the business is for each client to feel like we are their Bank Managers – old school like it used to be. Explaining situations, processes and structures in simple format so everyone understands.
Graham’s speciality is finding the right structure to a deal, analysing and writing detailed reports in order for lenders to buy in quicker and make decisions that don’t get overturned.
Passionate about building strong trusting relationships, Graham wears his “heart on his sleeve” and has a no nonsense approach with clients and professional counterparties alike.
In his spare time Graham likes to travel albeit with lap top in bag. Very social and enjoys hacking around a golf course here and there!
