He joins the firm’s seven-strong senior management team in Leicester alongside fellow directors Phil Sayers, Sarah Major, Mustafa Abdulhusein and Tom Moore, and partners Chris Frostwick, Kaushik Bathia and Ian Johnson.
Copson said: “I am delighted to become a Director at Grant Thornton and for the fantastic opportunity to play an even greater part in the leadership and future of the Leicester office at a time when the firm is continuing to grow, develop and innovate.”
Chris Frostwick, practice leader at Grant Thornton in Leicester, added: “Tom is a highly talented addition to our senior management team in Leicester and his promotion is very well-deserved.
