BTG Consulting PLC on Monday said it expects to deliver a further year of growth after raising its dividend and reporting higher annual sales and profit. Formerly known as Begbies Traynor, BTG is a Manchester, England-based company’s insolvency and real estate advisory. Pretax profit rose 23% to £14.1 million in the financial year ended April 30 from £11.5 million the year prior, as revenue increased 9.6% to £168.5 million from £153.7 million, or by 8% on an organic basis. Diluted earnings per share grew to 5.1 pence from 3.8p. Growth was driven by strong activity across both restructuring and real estate services, with advisory performance reflecting weaker transactional markets, the firm said. BTG Consulting said the new financial year has seen ‘encouraging’ levels of activity across the group with the backdrop of macroeconomic uncertainty continuing to drive demand for restructuring and advisory services, whilst continuing to impact transactional activity. BTG expects to deliver a further year of growth in line with expectations. ‘We have delivered a strong performance ahead of the previously stated range of market expectations, with robust activity across restructuring, advisory and real estate services driving both organic growth and acquisitions,’ said Chief Executive Mark Fry. The full-year dividend was increased 7.0% to 4.6p per share from 4.3p, including a final dividend of 3.1p, up 6.9% from 2.9p. ‘This reflects the board’s confidence in the group’s financial position and prospects, whilst retaining capacity for our continued organic and acquisitive growth strategy,’ BTG said. Shares in BTG fell 4.7% to 111.47p each in London on Monday morning. Copyright 2026 Alliance News Ltd. All Rights Reserved.
