Begbies Traynor

Over the last two decades, the board of Begbies Traynor has successfully created a multi-faceted and “all-weather” professional services group.

Numerous acquisitions have accelerated growth and helped to diversify the group, reducing its dependence on any specific market, such as insolvency. The growth strategy is well tested and has delivered consistently improving returns in recent years.

The company plans to keep expanding its offering and expects to further consolidate in its target markets, which it regards as still fragmented and a source of further financial gains. The board advocates for personal and corporate financial resilience and actively promotes employee share ownership.

Begbies Traynor operates in sensitive areas such as insolvency and restructuring, where ethical conduct and governance are paramount. The company’s main risk relates to governance, particularly ensuring strong compliance with anti-bribery, modern slavery and data protection standards.

Cybersecurity is an ever-present risk for companies too. Handling large volumes of confidential client data means any breach or system compromise could lead to significant operational disruption, regulatory penalties and reputational damage.
