IGG hires Mark Woodhouse as Trustee Director

Mark Woodhouse has been appointed as Trustee Director, further strengthening professional trustee capability as pension schemes navigate increasing governance and regulatory complexity.

Mark will support clients in addressing heightened regulatory scrutiny, more complex funding positions, and an increased focus on long-term strategic planning. His appointment enhances IGG’s Trustee Director team and supports the continued development of the firm’s regional presence in Scotland, where he will be based in IGG’s Edinburgh office.

A Fellow of the Pensions Management Institute (FPMI), he has worked with schemes at a wide range of stages of maturity, building his career across professional trustee, consultancy, and advisory roles. His approach is grounded in practical, proportionate decision-making, supporting schemes to achieve robust outcomes in an increasingly complex environment, and he joins IGG from Dalriada Trustees.
