Listen to Graeme and Leanne’s Podcast!
Graeme and Leanne Carling are the Founders of The Carling Group.
Graeme and Leanne Carling are a remarkable entrepreneurial duo, each with a unique journey contributing to their collective success. Graeme’s path to entrepreneurship was marked by early setbacks, including three failed businesses, which only fueled his determination to work for himself. His pivotal moment came when he committed to his financial education after watching an Oprah Winfrey show featuring Robert Kiyosaki, the author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad.” Graeme’s unwavering drive led him to quit his job alongside his girlfriend Leanne, who would later become his wife, with modest savings to embark on their entrepreneurial journey.
Leanne, with her unrivaled talent for sourcing acquisitions and creative deal-making, has been instrumental in growing the Carling Property Group into Scotland’s largest privately-owned landlord. Her role as Mergers & Acquisitions Director at United Capital has seen her lead over 1,000 real estate portfolio acquisition transactions, totaling around £200 million. Leanne’s ability to identify opportunities, construct deals, and deliver strategic goals has been paramount to their success. Together, Graeme and Leanne have spent the last 15 years building a business portfolio across multiple sectors and international locations, worth millions of pounds. Their vision, commitment, and relentless effort have cemented their place among entrepreneurial success stories, a journey that was never in doubt for them.
