Heligan Group appoints managing partner

Strategic advisory and investment firm Heligan Group, based in Birmingham, has strengthened its intelligence-led advisory and investigations capability with the appointment of Adam Irwin as managing partner of its Strategic Insights division.

Adam brings more than a decade of experience across risk intelligence, strategic analysis, corporate investigations and digital intelligence, advising law firms, multinational corporations and ultra-high-net-worth clients on complex, cross-border matters.

In his new role, Adam will lead the development of Heligan Group’s intelligence-led advisory offering, spanning strategic briefings, risk and market analysis, investigations and scenario planning to support high-stakes decision-making.

Prior to joining Heligan Group, he served as managing director at global risk intelligence firm Nodum Global, where he led investigations, due diligence and crisis response work across multiple jurisdictions.

Adam said: “I am delighted to be joining Heligan Group at such a pivotal time. 

“Leading Heligan Strategic Insights, and working alongside a talented, purpose‑driven team, perfectly aligns with my belief that the most effective strategies are grounded in deep, evidence‑based understanding of risk, context and opportunity. 

“Whether in a contested dispute, a high‑risk transaction or a fast‑moving crisis, clients need intelligence that fuses data, digital investigation and human expertise at pace. 

“Together, we will build a boutique, intelligence‑led advisory and investigations capability that gives Heligan’s clients and portfolio leaders a decisive information advantage.”

Tim Grasby, chief executive of Heligan Group, added: “Adam’s appointment represents an important milestone in the continued growth of Heligan Strategic Insights as an intelligence-led advisory and investigations practice. 

“His experience and perspective will further strengthen our ability to anticipate, interpret and act on complex challenges on behalf of our clients and investors. 

“We are investing in investigators, operational technologists and data scientists, as well as proprietary digital tools, so that we can combine deep sector expertise with advanced analytics and investigative capability. 

“We are also expanding the division with the creation of a new director of analysis role, reinforcing our commitment to deepening analytical capability and delivering exceptional strategic insight and investigative support.”
