Major Players Limited, a leading firm of recruiters in the digital marketing space, and winner of The Sunday Times Best Small Company to Work For, was sold to a large European multinational and subsequently sold back to original management and Mr. Griggs advised on both sales as part of his role as Non-Executive Advisor to that company. He has advised a number of digital marketing and branding companies and he has also served as Non-Executive and Finance Director of a significant environmental waste management company based in the North West.
Mr. Griggs originally qualified as a Chartered Accountant with KPMG and then moved to Spicer and Pegler (subsequently taken over by Deloitte) where he became Director of Finance. He then moved to a firm of specialist financial advisors which at the time of joining was an associated company of Morgan Grenfell and Deutsche Bank. He has since worked as an Executive and Non-Executive Director in a wide range of companies.
