“Grant Thornton is proud to sponsor the National Business Awards in their recognition of excellence through innovation, resilience and enthusiasm across the UK. All entrants have had to work through one of the toughest recessions in modern times and have come out as champions. We were particularly impressed with the calibre of the entries for this new category. The companies have grown into successful businesses and this has been down to sheer hard work and determination. Britain needs more dynamic companies like this to make the economy grow further,“says Scott Barnes, CEO at Grant Thornton.
