The firm will work alongside a host of other companies and organisations
including Experian, Steer Davies Gleave; Lumis, the Leisure and Tourism
Organisation, Quo-Tec and Bostock Marketing Group.
Other recent projects undertaken by Grant Thornton recently include examining
the economic impacts of the London 2012 Olympics and developing a master plan
