00 1. the London-based Fitch Ratings Agency spared ... 02 br
02 br

02 br
00 2. Acquires Lodon-based Market Intelligence Firm Z/Yen Limited. 02 br
02 br

02 br
00 3. joint venture of London-based Halcrow Group Limited and ... 02 br
02 br
00 Here, 'London-based' seems to function as an adjective before the proper noun 'Halcrow Group Limited'. Is an instance of having an adjective before a proper noun allowed? 0-
