Bovill Newgate was founded in 1999 by Ben Blackett-Ord and began as a small but specialist firm of compliance consultants. In 2024, Bovill Newgate was formed through a merger with the London-based firm Bovill Newgate Compliance.
At Bovill Newgate, we help you balance regulatory and commercial pressures.
We understand the challenges you face. Navigating an increasingly complex regulatory landscape is becoming harder than ever, with legacy technologies, stretched teams and competing priorities distracting you from what really matters.
Our team – a unique blend of industry professionals and ex-regulators, cuts through complexity, offering tailored solutions that unlock new value. With our finger on the pulse, we understand where regulators are focusing now, where they’re likely to focus in the future, and what will stand up to scrutiny in the long term.
We’re not just about filling out forms and ticking boxes. As people people, we love to get to know our clients and their ambitions. Whether you are a start-up, a multinational or somewhere in the middle – our job is to make sure you get things right.
With our deep expertise, we translate complex regulations into proportionate and pragmatic strategies that keep you compliant and foster sustainable growth. We keep you on the right side of regulatory change and compliance, and your business on track.
Peace of mind. Reduced risk. Problem solved.
Our values
Embrace challenge
We embrace the challenge provided by our colleagues, and recognise the importance of providing constructive professional challenge back. We embrace the challenge to develop ourselves, to grow and learn. We embrace the challenge of difficult tasks. We embrace our mistakes and learn from them.
Be human
We are kind, we are considerate. We interact with people as individuals with differing viewpoints, differing considerations, differing sensitivities, differing experiences. We manage our communication and relationships positively and proactively. We consider the impact of our actions, or lack of action.
Own it
We take pride, we hold ourselves to account, we ask for help, we own the problem and the solution. We escalate when needed, we ask for feedback. We are reliable and share the load with colleagues. When we delegate or collaborate we recognise the strengths, skills and limitations of others in relation to ourselves.
Speak up
We make our voice and our viewpoint heard. We consider our message and the results we want to achieve. We consider what we are saying, and the true purpose behind how we are saying it. We are constructive. We recognise that all voices are valid. We listen and encourage others to listen.
Love your job
We take responsibility for our role, our actions, our lack of action, our motivation, our happiness, our wellbeing. We are proactive not reactive. We recognise that loving our job does not mean everything about our job is perfect.
