I'm about to insulate my new workshop with 40mm glass fibre boards which have a fire resistant surface into 50mm recess between the upright supports. I intend to run a 4.0mm radial circuit across the surface of the boards behind a 150mm upstand at the back of the work bench. Circuit will consist of up to 9 double gang sockets protected by a 20A MCB and a 30mA RCD. I will only be using a maximum of 3 items at a time and these will consist of 1 x machine, 1 x dust extraction unit and possibly my CD player. The number of sockets is simply avoid the necessity of moving items to use them and avoid trailing cables. Can anyone see a problem with this?

No.
4mm² T&E would be rated at 18.5A even when completely surrounded by thermal insulation.
