In October 2014, Redford was appointed chief executive and chairman of Eligere Investments plc, a company traded on the GXG Market in Denmark. Trading in the company's shares was suspended by GXG in early June 2015. The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has warned that Eligere may be providing financial services or products in the UK without their authorisation.

Following a reorganisation in April 2015, the ordinary shares of Eligere Investments were 67% owned by Kijani Resources Limited, a special purpose vehicle of the Kijani Commodity Fund that is a segregated portfolio of the Brighton Segregated Portfolio Company (SPC) based in the Cayman Islands. On 1 June 2015, the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority announced that Brighton SPC had been placed in Controllership following a forensic examination of the fund by accountants.

In June 2015, Redford resigned from Emerging Market Minerals plc following the actions of the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority.
