Hemsley Fraser's Sales & Administration Team

The Hemsley Fraser sales team is actually made up of several teams, dedicated to developing learning solutions relevant to your needs. Whether you are after a complex multi-component learning solution or a single open training course they are happy to talk through your requirements.

Damian Briggs - Business Development Consultant

Damian Briggs is a relatively new member of the Hemsley Fraser team joining as a Business Development Consultant early 2007. Also a graduate in Business Information Management Systems, Damian's experiences span from Project Management at HP, to Senior Recruitment consultant for a national organisation based in the Plymouth branch. During this latter employment, he was awarded Sales Person of the Year for 2006.

Damian prefers a consultative approach and is driven by end results, a trait he developed from his time as a project manager. His aim is to establish successful long-term relationships with his clients.

Damian is also a keen footballer, although his enthusiasm far outweighs his ability, and enjoys watching all manner of sports when he is not playing bass guitar in his local - very popular - band.

Mike Griffiths - Strategic Account Director

Mike is a highly experienced consultant and relationship director, with a background in change management, first line and middle management development for multi-national organisations. Mike's style is motivational, collaborative and challenging, and clients appreciate his constructive feedback, enabling them to improve individual, team and organisational performance.

Working closely with his strategic clients, Mike is adept at identifying and understanding key strategic challenges and creating learning solutions to support the business at a local and international level.

Mike holds a Masters degree and has spent over 10 years in the learning and development arena working with clients from the financial services, media and aerospace sectors.

Away from work, Mike enjoys spending time with his wife and two boys and where possible playing as much golf as time allows. Mike has also completed three marathons, in London, New York and Dublin.
