BTG expands senior restructuring and investigation and governance, risk and compliance knowledge

BTG has enhanced its senior restructuring, investigation and governance, risk and compliance (GRC) support for clients with the promotion of Sukh Somal to director, and the appointment of Ben Inshaw also as director.

Sukh, who joined BTG as senior manager in 2023, has led a number of high-profile restructuring cases at the Group. His promotion enhances the senior experience available to clients seeking to overcome financial challenges. 

Ben, who joins BTG as director from one of largest accountancy firms in the world, brings more than a decade of experience conducting complex, cross border investigations, and supporting clients to enhance their fraud risk management frameworks. His clients have included FTSE 250-listed corporates, private equity-backed businesses, SMEs and major public sector bodies, including the Insolvency Service and the Department for Business and Trade (formerly the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). 

During his career Ben has led complex investigations into fraud, bribery, director misconduct, whistleblowing allegations, insolvency related matters, procurement breaches and accounting irregularities. His work often involves senior stakeholders, regulatory or legal considerations and collaboration with legal advisers, regulators, auditors and internal teams. 

In his role at BTG, Ben will build and strengthen the firm’s offering to corporate clients, particularly focussing on investigations, fraud risk management and insolvency related matters. Ben has significant experience deploying cutting edge AI tools and technologies on investigations to analyse large and complex datasets, enabling more efficient investigations and delivering defensible findings to Boards, regulators and legal advisers. 

Craig Povey, Partner at BTG, said:

“The range of disciplines on offer to clients continues to expand at BTG with the promotion of Sukh and the addition of Ben. These latest moves enhance the raft of expertise that spans forensics, advisory and restructuring in our office and proves that we can support businesses whether they are looking to grow or seeking to overcome challenges.

“Our team has increased in number significantly in the past year, but even more importantly for clients it has increased in expertise. Sukh’s promotion to director is very well deserved and Ben is an exceptionally welcome addition to the team.” 

Sannan Khan, Partner and National Lead for Investigation, Integrity and Compliance Services at BTG, said: 

“Since joining BTG I have seen the demand for our services from clients grow as we seek to fulfil our ambitions. As a Group, BTG is constantly looking to move forwards, and Ben’s appointment is part of that. He will also help us to increase the cross-service solutions we offer across BTG including financial advisory, funding, restructuring, real estate and investigations. 

“The profile of work that Ben has done in his career is significant and clients should be very confident that we have brought in another high-calibre professional to the team. It is yet another demonstration that we have built a top-class team to cater for all sizes of cases and clients.” 

Ben Inshaw, Director at BTG, said:

“I am looking forward to getting started and building on the team’s excellent reputation for delivering forensic engagements. This is an exciting time to join BTG. Alongside its rebrand it has a clear and ambitious strategy to grow its forensics and risk advisory offering. It is evolving rapidly to meet client demands in a changing market and I want to be part of that evolution.   

“Joining this team, at this time means I can deliver significant benefits to clients by supporting on complex investigations and insolvency-related matters whilst bringing a new dimension to BTG’s offering utilising my experience of AI-powered investigations and compliance programmes. I am not only keen to help the forensic and risk service line grow but also be a part of BTG’s next step in its own evolution.”
