Tributes have been paid to Abi Godfrey, a director of Grant Thornton’s North West corporate finance business, who has died at the age of 34
Godfrey, who led the company’s national pharma and life sciences sector, joined Grant Thornton in 2024 after 11 years at Deloitte.
Peter Terry, a partner at Grant Thornton UK and practice lead in the North West, said: “We are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend and colleague Abi Godfrey, director in our North West corporate finance business, who led our national pharma and life sciences sector.
“As a young female leader just breaking through to partner at Grant Thornton, she was an inspiration and motivation to many, both inside and outside the firm.
“She had so many wonderful qualities – we will miss her energy, fun, kindness and humility. We hold her family, friends and colleagues in our thoughts at this most difficult of times.”
