London-listed BTG Consulting has reported a 10% increase in revenue for the financial year ending April 30, 2026, reaching £168.5 million. The firm attributes this growth in part to a strategy of hiring senior talent from major competitors in the City. Chief executive Mark Fry highlighted the successful recruitment of two senior fee earners from rival firms, who have reportedly contributed to revenue generation from the outset of their appointments. Specifically, BTG has brought in two senior partners from Kroll to bolster its M&A division, with ongoing discussions for further talent acquisition in the competitive landscape.
Beyond talent poaching, BTG Consulting also played a significant role in high-profile restructuring and advisory cases. The firm led work on the administration of collapsed mortgage lender Market Financial Solutions, managing a large portfolio of affected properties. Additionally, BTG facilitated the sale of Sheffield Wednesday football club and its stadium, Hillsborough, to US-based Arise Capital Partners for £20 million in March, successfully lifting the club out of administration.
Despite the strong financial results, BTG's share price experienced a decline of approximately 5% following the announcement of its full-year results. However, Fry expressed optimism, noting that the share price was recovering on Tuesday and hoping the positive trend would continue. The firm was trading at 111.66p mid-afternoon Tuesday, down 5.34p from its previous closing price.
