Philip Angier

Philip Angier, 61, is founder of Angier Griffin, an independent social economy consultant. He was formerly Chief Executive of Traidcraft.

As principal of Angier Griffin, Philip has taken a leading role in promoting social finance and social accounting initiatives in the North East Region. He helped to found CapitaliSE Financial Solutions CIC, led the development of the Social Appraisal Toolkit, and is engaged in a number of initiatives to measure social value.

Philip is also an active social entrepreneur, chairing the Alnwick Food Festival and Alnwick Markets, and supporting and mentoring social enterprise projects around the Region.

Angier Griffin has led research and consultancy projects for ONE NorthEast, regional infrastructure organisations and numerous third sector clients.

On graduation from Oxford University Philip began his career in international banking. After 10 years in the City of London, he made a vocational career move to become Finance and Resources Officer in the Diocese of Liverpool under Bishop David Sheppard. Philip's time in Liverpool encompassed the City regeneration which followed the Toxteth riots and the publication of the influential 'Faith in the City' report.

Philip joined Traidcraft's staff as Finance Director in 1987, and becoming Managing Director in 1991 and latterly Chief Executive. During a decade at the head of Traidcraft Philip oversaw a major change-management programme and re-structuring of the organisation.

Traidcraft's achievements under Philip's leadership include an 80% increase in the real value of fair trade purchases from its producers, the launch of cafedirect, the first fair trade brand in UK supermarkets, and a pioneering role in the development of social accounting. Philip left Traidcraft in 2001 to found Angier Griffin.

Philip has continued his involvement in fair trade and international development as Chair of Shared Interest Society Limited until 2010, and as a trustee of Solaraid. He is also Chair of CapitaliSE Financial Solutions CIC and of Local Living (NE) Limited.

Philip is an associate of The Ideas Mine, and an independent business coach and mentor.

Philip and his wife, Elizabeth, live in Alnwick. They have two grown-up children and three grandchildren and are active members of their local Church. For recreation Philip is an occasional triathlete.
