Thank you for your support and advice during the financial due diligence. I was impressed with your ability to pick up quickly the accounting complexity of our group.

It was a difficult decision to sell, but Warwick Hotels and Resorts is the right company at the right time in this highly competitive London market. I see this as only positive for all concerned. We're thankful to the Grant Thornton team for its help and support throughout this journey.
