An enormously successful entrepreneur, Craig is best known for founding the Melville Group in 1987, which grew to become the largest and most successful player in the Scottish Recruitment industry.

His time with the organisation earned him considerable respect in the wider business community, and gave him the opportunity to engage and support an array of Scottish Executive and Scottish Enterprise initiatives – giving him a role in the continued development of a vibrant Scottish economy.

After successfully divesting the business to TMP Worldwide in 2001, Craig has pursued a mix of business and personal interests, most notably establishing the charity Football Aid, which has raised millions for diabetes-related charities and others nominated by most of the UK’s professional football teams.

Craig has an extensive business network and continues to be regarded as one of Scotland’s leading voices on employment and labour market issues.
