Accountancy firm Grant Thornton appoints Paver Smith

Dougal Paver, the agency’s managing director, added: “Across the board we’re seeing Liverpool firms raise the bar and this win says that blue chip businesses can find the right calibre of support in the city. Competitively Liverpool is in good shape and we’re pleased to be playing our part.”

The win is the result of an internal review by Grant Thornton of its PR requirements. The account’s previous incumbent was MC2.
