  • Non-executive Director, (remunerated)[3] Jabbar Group, Glasgow - Global business company focusing on technology, architecture, master planning, city developers, corporate and retail travel, human resource management, media, leisure and international property investment[4]
  • Non-executive,[5] Public Interest Foundation - associated charitable foundation. The precise wording in Griffiths register of interests is 'Remunerated directorships: The Jabbar Group and Public Interest Foundation (non-executive); an infrastructure company and associated charitable foundation.'[6] This is odd as Griffiths is not registered as a directo of Public Interest foundation and in its accounts of February 2008 it declares that it did no business and has no resources.[7]
