Faces of a Vibrant Economy forms part of Grant Thornton’s wider series of initiatives aimed at unlocking a more sustainable economy that works for all. Earlier this year, the firm launched its Vibrant Scotland initiative which has already brought together hundreds of business, political and third sector leaders to debate, discuss and collaborate on innovative new visions and new thinking for the country, as it approaches a disruptive, uncertain 2019.

Andrew Howie, Grant Thornton’s managing partner in Scotland, said: “Our latest Faces of a Vibrant Economy each have an amazing story to tell about how their vision and innovative approach drove growth and success for them. Scotland’s business community already has a lot to be proud of, but if we want to continue moving forward, greater collaboration will the key element in building a more sustainable, vibrant Scotland.”

Chris Thewlis, founder of GTS Group, said: “Grant Thornton’s Vibrant Economy initiative is a fantastic and refreshing project championing a vision of a better and more inclusive way to do business for the benefit of all people. I am extremely honoured to have been nominated and chosen to be a face for 2018 and I will be making every effort to champion the cause.”
