Mark Wilcock

Managing Director

As well as leading the management of our firm, I manage a portfolio of clients across several sectors and industry types including logistics, manufacturing, construction, wholesale, and recruitment.

I act as a business advisor to a number of successful owner managed businesses in a wide variety of industries and I am committed to helping business owners put strategies in place to develop and grow their operations and I get great satisfaction from working alongside these ambitious entrepreneurs.

There is always something happening with clients’ businesses where we need to become involved and help them, which keeps the job exciting.

I approach each task as a new challenge with a desire to find the best solution for the client.

When not working with clients, I am instrumental in driving the strategic direction and operation of our practice, including motivating, and supporting our team.

Throughout my 35+ year career I have worked for a couple of mid-sized accountancy firms and a top five international practice; all roles that gave me invaluable experience and skills.

My main ambition now is to continue to develop the practice and help make it a great place where staff want to work and forge a career, and where clients actively seek us out due to our reputation for skill, professionalism, and service.

A little personal

As well as being a family man, my main passion outside work is playing golf most weekends in the pursuit of a lower handicap. I try and get in the gym two or three times a week, as well. I am also part of a small committee that organise the Hellifield Beer Festival each year, which is a great weekend for the village and raises funds for local good causes and organisations– and being an accountant, I am also the treasurer!

What is your favourite film?

Total Recall – the original not the remake. No matter how many times you watch it, you always draw a different conclusion as to which side the main character is really on.

What is your favourite song?

Thunder Road – Bruce Springsteen. A great story and the song builds to a fantastic crescendo – the live versions are even better.

What is your favourite meal?

Fillet steak with dauphinoise potatoes.

What is your guilty pleasure?

Country music.

Something to inspire you

It’ll be alright in the end...if it’s not alright, it’s not the end.
