He founded Ernest Griffiths Consulting Engineers in 1924 and initially operated in Liverpool, before relocating the Business to the Wirral at the end of the 1930’s.
The activities of his business included the execution of many important schemes for the larger public authorities in the North of England and Wales; the advice of his firm being extensively sought by county councils and many of the largest corporations, as well as by joint boards and voluntary hospitals, on a variety of projects ranging from heating and refrigeration to electric lighting and power installation.
5. Head Office In The Wirral
Our Head Office remains on the Wirral and is supported by offices in Leeds and London which enables close support to projects across the country. We are a forward-looking company and are in the fortunate position of having a strong foundation upon which we continue to build our future.
A key feature throughout the years has been repeat business and recommendations to others, from clients, architects and project managers. The majority of our work comes to us this way; we do little in the way of “marketing”. This, we consider is largely attributable to the Policy and Values of the Firm which has remained consistent at all times.
