BTG has further enhanced its restructuring support for businesses across the South West of England with the acquisition of the business recovery and insolvency team from Lameys Accountants.

The acquisition, which was completed on 1 May 2026, will see a team of six, led by insolvency practitioner Michelle Weir join BTG. 

Lameys, which was founded in 1991 and operates from its office in Newton Abbot is a well-established firm and its insolvency and restructuring team has delivered services to a range of commercial businesses and individuals throughout Cornwall and Devon.

Julie Palmer, Managing Partner at BTG, said:

“Lameys is a well-established firm in the region that has supported businesses for more than three decades. The work of its restructuring team to ensure that businesses receive the best possible advice to overcome challenges at the most difficult of times is impressive and is respected in the region. 

“I would like to welcome Michelle and the team to BTG and I look forward to working with them to grow BTG’s existing footprint in the region.”

Michelle Weir, Partner at Lameys, said:

“I am excited to join the BTG team and to work with Julie to continue developing BTG’s presence in the South West.
