Granger Reis strengthens Board with strategic appointments to power next stage of growth

Granger Reis, a B Corp global executive search firm, has strengthened its board of directors with the appointment of two leaders who bring complementary perspectives on growth and transformation.

Craig Davidge joins the board having started at Granger Reis as a consultant in 2018 and has grown into a key figure in its evolution, now leading the firm’s Smart Infrastructure division.

In this role, he supports organisations navigate the profound changes reshaping both digital infrastructure and the energy sector, where technology is at the heart of transformation.

Andrew Hodgson starts as an experienced strategic advisor whose career spans decades of financial and operational leadership in scaling high-growth businesses.

These appointments mark a significant step for the Bristol-HQ'd company, reinforcing its commitment to combining external expertise with internal excellence to support clients navigating complex change on a global scale.

Richard Milsom, CEO of Granger Reis, said:

“As we continue to evolve, we’re focused on building a board that brings both deep operational knowledge and fresh strategic thinking.

Craig embodies our commitment to cultivating leaders who not only deliver exceptional results for clients, but who also drive influential change from within. Craig’s insight, integrity and determination continue to shape the future of Granger Reis.

Andrew brings a sharp financial lens and a track record of helping ambitious businesses scale effectively. Together, they strengthen the intelligence and influence of our board at a pivotal moment in our growth."

Craig Davidge’s appointment also represents a notable moment for the firm – the first time a board member has risen through the ranks from consultant level.

Joining the business as a Principal Consultant in 2018, Craig has played a pivotal role, working across multiple areas of the business as a central part of its international business development programme focused on global infrastructure and technological transformation.

Craig said:

“Granger Reis is operating at the centre of some of the most transformative forces in the global economy – from digital infrastructure and cloud investment to the accelerating energy transition and the strategic rethinking of leadership itself.

It’s a privilege to step into a board role at a time when our clients are demanding more innovation, more clarity, and more partnership from their search partners. Granger Reis has grown with purpose – and I’m excited to help shape what comes next."

Andrew Hodgson spent 33 years with KPMG, culminating in the role of senior partner for the firm’s Bristol office, overseeing a team of 600 people.
Since leaving KPMG, Andrw has run his own consultancy Unify, focused on advising growth-focused businesses, blending board-level insight with hands-on dealmaking and strategic consultancy.

Andrew said:

“Granger Reis has built a solid platform for international growth by focusing on key sectors, embracing technology, and staying true to its values as a responsible, high-performing B Corp. Whether it’s professional services, financial services, or executive search, the biggest challenge and opportunity is always the same: attracting, developing and retaining the best talent.

Granger Reis has done the hard work – the infrastructure is in place, the focus is clear, and the commitment to both people and clients is real. It’s not trying to be everything to everyone – it’s aiming to do high-quality work for its clients around the world in a responsible, valuable and trusted way."
