In a career geared towards growth, Timothy Griffin has taken a single site hotel and crafted a globally renowned hospitality brand. Griffin, who was the Managing Director of Ennismore in the United States, recently with a handful of former colleagues set up his own hospitality brand – and hasn’t looked back since.   His team’s latest labour of love, LEVEN, is a hotel brand that has launched with a rather infectious personality. Its first hotel is located in the heart of Manchester, and Hamish Kilburn was ‘first in’! For episode 12 of DESIGN POD, sponsored by Minotti London, Griffin joins Kilburn and co-host Harriet Forde to discuss the fundamental role of design when developing a new lifestyle brand.
