Matt and Christy Brooks are the owners of
Brooks and Company. They met in 2007 and were
married in 2009.
Matt is from Quitman, Ga. and went to
school at Valdosta State University and graduated
in 2002 as the proud recipient of a Bachelor’s
degree in Business Administration. He moved to
Griffin in 2005 for a local job opportunity in sales
for a company he currently still flourishes in and
enjoys working for.
Christy is a born and raised Griffin resident.
She takes pride in attempting to grow her
hometown’s local business market. She graduated
from Griffin Tech in 1991 with a diploma in
Cosmetology. She later completed courses in
Social work from UGA. Then in 2008, she
completed her courses for Financial Advisor with
HFMA. In 2009 she received her career diploma as
a Private Investigator. With all of her experience
and education, she still found she had a passion for
local business and wanted to grow that in her
hometown. Together they started Brooks and
Company in 2011, originally that was a plan for
storefront retail which they did and kept that going

until 12/2013 when their focus shifted to helping
small business and their community. Brooks and
Company Community Magazine was already
established so they took advantage of the magazine
to support their community and showcase what all it
has to offer. Matt and Christy are huge supporters of
local small business and embrace every opportunity
to add something to the community that it has not
previously been able to offer.
Brooks and
Company’s mission is to continue to add new
products in an effort to show that you do not always
have to resort to big box names to meet your
household or personal needs.
In June 2013 Christy began working with
the City of Griffin Main Street Program in an effort
to show her support to the community and all small
business owners trying to make a difference. She
continues to work daily to be a support to those
around her.
They started Brooks and Company in an
effort to offer local businesses a chance to showcase
what they have to offer and how it benefits our
community. This publication is an effort by Brooks
and Company to show that your local community
currently offers what it needs to grow with your
support. We thank you for taking the time to read it.
