Menelik Samuel Shillingford

With real estate in his veins, Menelik began building first-hand knowledge of the industry early in his career at his father’s conveyancing firm. Two decades later, he had established himself as an expert in business consulting and stakeholder engagement in London’s financial centre. Having worked with institutions such as the Bank of England and the Houses of Parliament, he developed a reputation for navigating complex markets and forging high-value partnerships. Recognising his unique ability to understand client needs and deliver tailored solutions, Menelik returned to his roots in property. Combining his business expertise with a lifelong passion for real estate, he launched his own firm in London. Inspired by the exponential growth and untapped potential of the UAE market, he left his partners to scale his business and moved abroad, stepping into a new frontier. Today, Menelik brings years of real estate knowledge and relationship management to his role as a Commercial Consultant the UAE, where he prides himself on sourcing and executing the best opportunities for his clients.
