Trevor Griffiths brings with him a strong background in senior project management and leadership; particularly in civil engineering, commercial / industrial and civic projects. Trevor is the first point of contact on projects, leading to the project’s delivery method, fiscal governance and programme/schedule.
When not immersed in his business, this ex-Liverpudlian can be found spending time with his family; or applying his mad passion for football in a useful way through coaching and refereeing it at a junior level, or getting excited over a game of foosball or Subbuteo (types of table-top football). In fact if you were to engage Trevor in a discussion about sports (and be aware, it would be a passionate chat!) you would quickly discover that he supports only 3 main teams: Everton (in the English Premier league), Northland FC (as he is chairman) and of course the All Blacks!
Travel is another big passion for Trevor; immersing himself in new cultures, experiencing different things and discovering unique places. Trevor loves, lives and breathes construction delivery, and is a true industry advocate. In particular, he loves the chase of the project deal, the energy and excitement of telling people about what Griffiths does and how they do it, watching his team develop and always, always searching for ways to improve!
