Hello! I'm Mark Woodruff, a passionate advocate for financial empowerment and strategic wealth management. With a background as a Chartered Financial Planner and a qualified actuary, I bring a unique blend of expertise to the table. At heart, I'm a holistic financial planner dedicated to assisting busy families like yours in achieving their financial aspirations. My mission? To help you grow wealth intelligently while optimizing tax savings along the way. On a personal note, I'm happily married to Ally, and we have two wonderful children, Cameron and Charlotte, who continually inspire me to build a brighter financial future for our family. Not to forget our beloved pet dog, Holly the Whippet, who brings joy and laughter into our home each day. When I'm not immersed in the world of finance, you'll often find me on the squash court, where I thrive on the competitive energy and camaraderie of the game. I'm also a dedicated gym-goer, committed to maintaining a healthy balance between mind and body. As a lifelong supporter of Liverpool FC, I understand the importance of loyalty, teamwork, and resilience - values that resonate deeply with my approach to financial planning. Just as every match requires strategy and adaptability, so too does every financial journey. With me by your side, you can trust that I'll be there to provide unwavering support and guidance, no matter what challenges arise. With years of experience in the financial industry, I've honed my skills to provide personalized, tailored solutions that align perfectly with your goals and circumstances. Whether you're planning for retirement, saving for your children's education, or simply aiming to build a more secure financial future, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. I understand that each individual and family is different, which is why I take the time to listen attentively to your needs and concerns before crafting a comprehensive financial plan tailored specifically to you. My approach is centred around transparency, education, and empowerment, ensuring you feel confident and informed about your financial decisions. Beyond just managing investments, I believe in fostering long-term relationships built on trust, integrity, and mutual respect. My commitment to your financial well-being extends far beyond our initial interactions - I'm here to support you through life's twists and turns, adapting our strategies as needed to keep you on track towards your goals. So, if you're ready to take control of your financial future and embark on a journey towards greater wealth and security, I'm here to help. Let's work together to make your financial dreams a reality! Feel free to reach out to me to schedule a consultation or learn more about how I can assist you on your financial journey. Your home or other property may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage. The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested. An investment in equities does not provide the security of capital associated with a deposit account with a bank or building society. The levels and bases of taxation and reliefs from taxation can change at any time. The value of any tax relief depends on individual circumstances. Auto-Enrolment products are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. Equity release is a lifetime mortgage or home reversion plan. To understand the features and risks associated with such products, please ask for a personalised illustration.
