The draft recommendations to government include:
- Unlocking international trade

- Local strategic action to develop and finance infrastructure and connectivity
- Building more long-term business and financial models
Norman Armstrong, Partner in the Southampton office of Grant Thornton UK LLP said: “At Grant Thornton we are seeking to stimulate ideas and actions to shape a vibrant economy in the region – one which realises the shared potential of business, cities, people and communities across the south. We have recently opened the first collaborative work space in the south which further cements our commitment to the plans and gives dynamic businesses the opportunity to flourish and connect with others, utilising all that is available to allow their businesses to really thrive.”
