Leadership
Together, Andy Baines and Nigel Doherty founded Band Capital with a clear and disciplined purpose: to create a boutique real-estate development management, investment and corporate strategy house that combines the analytical rigour of institutional capital with the creativity, precision, and accountability of experienced developer-operators.
As partners, they have worked together for many years and before establishing Band Capital, Andy and Nigel built their previous firm into one of the most respected advisory and development management businesses in the market, known for its intelligence, reliability, and exceptional execution. Working with household names such as Casio Electronics, Cable & Wireless, O2, Schenker Logistics, Dixons, St James’s Place they dealt with transactions of all sizes, achieving corporate assets under management of over £2.6 billion and offering strategic advice capturing the full life cycle of a property from development, funding, occupation, and investment.
That foundation continues to shape Band Capital’s identity: selective, strategic, and relentlessly focused on value creation. Their partnership is grounded in complementary strengths, united by a shared philosophy of excellence, integrity, and long-term value creation.
Together, Andy and Nigel lead Band Capital with a shared belief that exceptional outcomes come from discipline, creativity, and alignment — values that underpin every project, every relationship, and every decision the firm makes.
