International legal and professional services firm, The Ince Group plc (AIM: INCE), is pleased to announce the appointment of Mark Tantam as Global Head of Consulting.

This appointment is to a new position for the Group and reflects its plan to broaden its offering from legal and professional services into a wider range of business solutions.

Mark will report directly to Chief Executive Adrian Biles and will sit on the Group's Executive Committee.

Mark, a barrister by training, comes with a wealth of knowledge in consultancy having spent the last 20 years as a Forensic Partner at Deloitte UK. During his time at Deloitte he spent seven years as leader of the Forensics business and five years as one of the Vice Chairs of the UK firm.

Adrian Biles, Chief Executive of The Ince Group plc said:

"Mark has amassed a wealth of expertise throughout his career and I am delighted he will be joining us as we continue to grow our offer to clients. Our growth strategy will benefit hugely from individuals such as Mark as we continue to offer a more integrated and varied set of services."

Mark Tantam said on his appointment to Global Head of Consulting:

"I'm incredibly eager to be joining the Group at this exciting time. It's forward looking and modern approach to servicing its clients is both innovative and successful with the growth it has already seen. I can't wait to further help the Group and its clients on this journey."

Mark's services will be provided to the Group through Mahtcorp1 Limited which has the benefit of a service contract with Mark. Ince has agreed to acquire that company in consideration of the issue of 350,000 new ordinary shares in The Ince Group plc to Mark, subject to certain sale restrictions. It is expected that the new shares will be admitted to trading on AIM at 8.00 am on 4 December 2019 and will, when issued, rank pari passu with all other ordinary shares in issue.

On admission of the 350,000 new shares to trading on AIM, the Company's issued share capital will comprise 37,326,730 ordinary shares in aggregate. This figure may be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in,

or change to their interest in, the Company under the FCA's Disclosure Guidance and Transparency Rules.
