Gregory Hands was born on 14 November 1965 to British parents in New York City.{{cite news |last1=Sylvester |first1=Rachel |title=Greg Hands: 'I was true to my word on Heathrow.

During his gap year Hands worked in a swimming pool in Berlin where he gained the nickname “Tapper;” he became interested in the Eastern Bloc, visiting Prague and other Eastern European cities on future holidays.

He went on to attend Robinson College, Cambridge, where he graduated with a first in Modern History in 1989. He joined the Conservative Party as a student, served as the chairman of the Cambridge University Conservative Association, and was on the executive committee of the Cambridge University Students' Union.

Hands spent eight years after university in banking. He worked on trading floors in derivatives at the City of London and New York City until 1997.

Hands was elected as a councillor in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in 1998. He became the leader of the Conservative group in 1999, remaining in that capacity until 2003.

At the 2005 general election, Hands was elected to Parliament as MP for Hammersmith and Fulham, winning with 45.4% of the vote and a majority of 5,029.{{cite web |title=Election Data 2005 |url=https://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2005ob.txt |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111015054249/http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/electdata_2005ob.txt |archive-date=15 October 2011 |access-date=18 October 2015 |publisher=Electoral Calculus |df=dmy-all}}

In his maiden speech on 26 May 2005, Hands referred to the fact that the BBC was the largest employer in his constituency and that Hammersmith Broadway was the busiest road interchange in Europe.{{cite web |url=https://publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/cm050526/debtext/50526-15.htm#50526-15_spnew1 |title=Hansard Debates for 26 May 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160602182952/http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm200506/cmhansrd/cm050526/debtext/50526-15.htm#50526-15_spnew1 |archive-date=2 June 2016 |website=parliament.uk |date=26 May 2005}}

Hands quickly became interested in the subject of MPs expenses, causing the whips to attempt to dissuade him.

In 2007, Hands was selected to be the Conservative candidate for the new Chelsea and Fulham parliamentary constituency. His previous seat of Hammersmith and Fulham was abolished for the 2010 general election, with Hammersmith having its own seat (being fought by Shaun Bailey for the Conservatives), and Fulham joining Chelsea in a new seat. In January 2009, Hands was appointed to the Conservative front bench team as a shadow Treasury minister. He also became the Parliamentary chairman of Conservative Friends of Poland.{{cite web |url=http://www.cfofp.co.uk/whoweare.php |title=Who We Are |work=Conservative Friends of Poland |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121103110641/http://www.cfofp.co.uk/whoweare.php |archive-date=3 November 2012}}

Hands campaigned for the UK to remain in the European Union in the 2016 Brexit referendum. In the lead-up to the referendum, Hands led the Chelsea and Fulham Britain Stronger in Europe campaign.{{cite tweet|number=1082749114155188229|last=Hands|first=Greg|user=GregHands|title=I led the Remain campaign locally|date=8 January 2019|access-date=12 May 2022}} During the campaign, Hands issued warnings of the consequences for the UK should it leave the European Union, saying that the country would face "profound consequences" including "fewer jobs, higher prices in our shops and less money for our public services like the NHS".{{Cite web|title=MP campaigns against Brexit, says could cost 100k jobs & harm NHS|url=https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/mp-fulham-campaign-against-brexit-11276971|last=Cooper|first=Goolistan|date=7 May 2016|website=getwestlondon|access-date=22 May 2020}} A strong advocate of international trade, he described the European Union's Single Market as being the "most complete commitment to free trade that exists".{{Cite news|last=Swinford|first=Steven|date=3 May 2016|title=Brexit will cost 100,000 jobs, Cabinet minister warns|work=The Telegraph|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2016/05/02/brexit-will-cost-100000-jobs-cabinet-minister-warns/|access-date=22 May 2020|issn=0307-1235|url-access=subscription}}

Following the referendum, Hands argued that the UK should leave the European Union with a deal.{{Cite web|url=https://www.greghands.com/news/september-brexit-update-greg-hands|title=September Brexit Update from Greg Hands|work=Greg Hands MP|date=6 September 2019}} To justify his changed position regarding the UK outside of the European Union, Hands argued that in "the long term" the UK could "independently conclude better contracts with third countries".{{Cite news|title=Brexit: Wahlkampf mit dem Konservativen Greg Hands|url=https://www.spiegel.de/politik/ausland/brexit-im-wahlkampf-mit-tory-politiker-greg-hands-a-1300489.html|last=Reichert|first=Isabella|newspaper=Der Spiegel|date=11 December 2019 |language=de|access-date=23 May 2020}} Hands voted against the Withdrawal Agreement in the first Meaningful Vote, but voted in favour of it in the second and third meaningful votes, stating that the deal had been improved.{{cite news|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47748806|work=BBC News|access-date=9 September 2019|title=Brexit: How did my MP vote on the withdrawal agreement?|date=29 March 2019}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.greghands.com/news/summer-brexit-update-greg-hands-mp|title=Summer Brexit Update from Greg Hands MP|work=Greg Hands MP|date=20 August 2019}}

Following the Grenfell Tower fire which killed 71 people, Hands called for the Notting Hill Carnival to be moved. He said, "We have to ask ourselves if it is appropriate to stage a Carnival in the near proximity of a major national disaster." The mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, dismissed Hands' proposal.{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jul/07/sadiq-khan-rejects-call-to-move-notting-hill-carnival-after-grenfell-fire|access-date=8 July 2019|title=Sadiq Khan rejects call to move Notting Hill carnival after Grenfell fire|date=7 July 2017|work=The Guardian|first=Kevin|last=Rawlinson}}{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/notting-hill-carnival-moving-grenfell-tower-fire-sadiq-khan-greg-hands-tory-minister-government-a7828626.html |title=Tory minister wants to move Notting Hill Carnival because of Grenfell Tower fire disaster |work=The Independent |date=7 July 2017 |first=Lucy |last=Pasha-Robinson |access-date=15 July 2017}}

This body looked at alternatives to the Irish backstop.{{cite news|url=https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/brexit/tory-mp-greg-hands-weve-found-a-solution-to-the-brexit-backstop-38429347|work=Belfast Telegraph|access-date=9 September 2019|title=Tory MP Greg Hands: We've found a solution to the Brexit backstop|date=23 August 2019}}

Alongside former neighbouring MPs Justine Greening and Zac Goldsmith, Hands has been critical of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham's April 2019 decision to close Hammersmith Bridge to motor vehicles, and has called for the bridge to be promptly repaired and re-opened.{{cite news|url=https://www.mylondon.news/news/west-london-news/we-demand-hammersmith-bridge-repaired-16154295|work=MyLondon|access-date=9 September 2019|title='We demand Hammersmith Bridge is repaired and re-opened' say MPs|last=Sheppard|first=Owen|date=19 April 2019}}
