GP, entrepreneur, property investor, business investor.
Definitely not a guru.
Dr Andrew Threadgold
A doctor for over twenty years. A property investor who built it alongside the day job. The person a lot of medics now contact before they sign something they'll regret.
I qualified from Barts in 2003 and was a GP until 2024. Across those years I sat with people at the worst moments of their lives, ensuring their diagnoses and treatments were managed whilst doing the 150 bloods, prescriptions, tasks and letters that wouldn't wait each day. This, and the overwhelm, teaches you more about money, risk and what keeps a person awake at night than any business course.
I built a property business alongside the day job: today it's around 100 units across residential and commercial, including 120 serviced accommodation bedrooms and a hotel. The portfolio is run as a real business with real figures.
Property is just one of the sectors I have businesses in. I also own a private security and life-systems company in Norwich and a private healthcare practice in Warwickshire. Property, hospitality, security and healthcare - businesses in several different sectors with all the risk and challenges that come with them.
I do this because I'm tired of medics sending me investments to review after they've already signed and been taken advantage of. I want to be the honest voice before they sign anything, the one who teaches them how to spot a blag from a mile away.
