From this month, former PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) partners in St Lucia, Antigua, and St Kitts have begun to operate under Grant Thornton International Ltd.
Marcus Hatch, territory senior partner of PwC East Caribbean in Barbados, said: “We have seven firms that are investing heavily to create one strong Caribbean network . . . . The Barbados-based firm of PwC East Caribbean will be part of the new Caribbean network, but the St Lucia, Antigua and St Kitts partners will not be joining and will instead pursue a future with Grant Thornton.”
“We have been colleagues for many years and we will continue to work closely together, as appropriate, to serve clients within these islands,” Hatch said.
Tony Atkinson, managing partner of the St Lucia Grant Thornton practice, said the change over will be seamless and will not disrupt services to clients.
“This is an entirely amicable separation which will see us continuing to work closely together with our former colleagues to meet the needs of regional companies with operations in the OECS. The name over the door may have changed but our relationships and commitments have not,” he said. (PR)
