Why the company deserves the award (in a paragraph you can describe the specific achievements of the company)
Once again, Griffin, by acquisition of Polcom, showed it remains an active investor in the Polish real estate sector that keeps its eye on new market opportunities and bravely explores new territories.
Bringing to Poland Kajima Europe, the European operating company of the Kajima Corporation of Tokyo and being active in several real-estate sectors shows that Griffin has grown into an important global player that can win the trust of brand new investors that others failed to attract.
