Grant Thornton

When one walks through the London office, they will notice an abundance of natural light at all workstations. The space was purposefully designed to fuel creativity, increase energy and enhance the wellbeing of everyone who comes to our office.

You’ve opened a brand new space at 171 Queens! What drew you and your business to this building?

“The prime downtown London location was a key determining factor as it allows us to be close to our clients’ businesses and offers amenities that are attractive to our talent, such as restaurants and parking. In addition, the building offers a bright and open floorplan that supports collaboration and communication among colleagues.”

Can you describe your experience in building your business roots and designing your custom space?

“At Grant Thornton, our philosophy for designing our offices is rooted in one core question: How can a space shape the experience for both our colleagues and clients? When one walks through the London office, they will notice an abundance of natural light at all workstations. The space was purposefully designed to fuel creativity, increase energy and enhance the wellbeing of everyone who comes to our office.”

“We also designed a large, multi-purpose colleague kitchen area that can be formatted for internal events, client functions and training sessions. Our design partner, Sandi Stephenson from Stephenson Design Associates Inc., did a wonderful job executing on our philosophy.”

How do you feel your expertise will service the downtown core as you grow to be a community partner?  

“We are driven by our purpose to help our clients, colleagues and communities thrive. With our new space in the heart of the downtown core, we are in a great position to live our purpose by helping to bring our clients and business partners back downtown. We aim to be trusted business advisors to our clients and are excited about being a part of the growing London community for years to come.  “
