Grant Thornton UK has acquired London based analytics firm Local Futures Group.
Local Futures Group is a research and strategy consultancy providing a geographical perspective on economic, social and environmental change to public and private sector organisations. It is based in London and was established in 1997.
Local Futures Group will form part of Grant Thornton UK's analytics services and will see the introduction of a new offering entitled Place Analytics.
