NEW GROUND WON’T BREAK ITSELF.
At Grant Thornton , we work on some of the UK's largest and most high-profile infrastructure projects and public policy programmes. At their core these assignments are focused on creating value across the UK (and internationally) providing interventions that deliver economic and social benefits for current and future generations.
Every day our teams help people in businesses and communities to do what is right and achieve their goals. Our purpose is to make a difference by working hand in hand with our public and private sector clients on significant public sector projects and issues. We are a team that has public service at its heart. The team works both virtually and our modelling specialists primarily operate from three Grant Thornton offices - London, Manchester and Edinburgh. The team is made up of the advisers and consultants in the following sectors and disciplines:
· Transport
· Net zero
· Defence
· Healthcare
· Real Estate and Assets

Financial modelling and analytics: Financial models, and increasingly data analytics, underpin almost all business decisions and investment decisions. Our team has helped clients deliver infrastructure and improve services across the UK and internationally. We are growing and investing in our team to support clients through this evolving modelling and data landscape, with a clear focus on quality and best practice modelling techniques, such as the FAST modelling standard.
We work with public and private sector clients helping them to make informed decisions with confidence through financial modelling and data analytics support. We build, review and amend models across a diverse range of sectors and clients in Microsoft Excel, as well as platforms such as Alteryx, KNIME, Power BI and Tableau. We work closely with the sector teams to build and review models across sectors such as transport, real estate, healthcare, renewables, energy and regulated industries. We work as part of Grant Thornton’s wider modelling community, sharing knowledge and best practice with other modelling experts.
