Graham is a qualified UK solicitor with a background in commercial, property and entertainment law. Since 1982 he has been engaged full-time in business, predominantly within the property world.

In 1983, he co-founded Warwick Balfour Properties Ltd to re-develop single houses and flats in the best areas of central London. The company progressed on to larger multi-unit residential schemes and new-build office developments, and was eventually listed on the UK stock exchange as MWB Group Plc.

MWB also owned and operated the Liberty department store, the UK hotel companies Malmaison Hotels and the Hotels & Bistros Du Vin and the Searceys group of restaurants and champagne bars.

Graham has also undertaken many residential schemes through his private development companies Balfour Cavendish Holding Ltd and Artemis Property Developments Ltd.

Alongside his property activities, Graham and his father, Dr Stanley Balfour-Lynn (who owned and operated leading private hospitals in the UK and Europe, such as the Harley Street Clinic and The Princess Grace Hospital), formed Village Homes Plc, in partnership with Godfrey Bradman’s Rosehaugh Plc, to develop and operate purpose built nursing homes for the elderly during the 1980s.

Graham was a director and shareholder in Eurogim SARL between 1989 and 1995, a French property company developing and investing in the city of Lille.

He was a founder director of the separately AIM listed MWB Business Exchange Plc, which grew to be the second largest service office provider in the UK with a national network of 65 offices. The company was sold to Regus Plc in 2012.

Graham also has a range of non-property business experience. He has in the past been a director and shareholder in Paradime Music & Management, a management company within the music business; International Medical Personnel Ltd, a provider of nursing and medical staff to UK and international hospitals; Illuminator Plc, an AIM listed technology investment company; and Avanta Telecommunications Ltd, a provider of telecommunication services to UK corporate clients.

William started his business career in the textile industry where he held senior management positions in a number of well known companies including Aquascutum. He was eventually appointed Managing Director of two subsidiaries of Courtney Investments, a property and textile group.

In 1983 he was a co-founder and director of Warwick Balfour Properties, and project managed the company’s many residential and commercial developments.

When the company evolved into the listed MWB Group Plc, William was appointed the group design and development director primarily responsible for the company’s wide-ranging portfolio of development activity.

He was also responsible for numerous hotel developments for MWB subsidiaries, Malmaison hotels and Hotels Du Vin, and the company’s service office arm, MWB Business Exchange Plc.

At the same time, he was the development director of the De Vere Hotel and Conference Centre group, and its subsidiaries Village Hotels and Green’s Health Clubs, which was a private joint venture between MWB directors and HSBC.

Over the years, William has also carried out a considerable number of design-led, individual flat and house refurbishment projects in Central London through his own private company.

He is currently a private investor in several multi-unit residential schemes in South England.
