Ben Coggin

I am a Partner in BDO’s Transaction Services team, based in Leeds, specialising in providing financial due diligence services to private equity and corporate clients across Yorkshire and the North East. I joined BDO in November 2025 from EY, bringing nearly two decades of due diligence experience advising on acquisitions, disposals, and refinancing engagements.

I provide clear, commercially driven insights that help clients assess value, understand risks, and evaluate financial performance. I have developed deep sector expertise across the (i) Technology, Media and Business Services, and (ii) Industrials sectors, advising investors and management teams on a wide range of capital markets, UK mid-market, and private equity transactions.

Known for my pragmatic, data-driven approach, I work closely with management teams, investment professionals, and lenders to identify value drivers and deliver practical, actionable recommendations. My recent experience includes advising leading UK mid-market private equity firms on both buy-side and sell-side engagements.

I also regularly support clients through competitive processes and complex carve-outs, helping them navigate key financial considerations with clarity and confidence.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and am passionate about exploring the Peak District in and around my hometown of Sheffield.
