About Mark Woolhouse

Former banker turned entrepreneur. I successfully restructured, purchased, managed and sold a private engineering group, Steel Line Ltd, through an LBO and was also an equity partner in Corporate Training Group which my partners and I successfully sold to the AIM listed ILX group in 2006. I established Capital City Training Limited in early 2010 with my business partner Greg. We acquired MS Consultants a few years ago (so I'm still doing a bit of M&A). I have had non-exec roles for a small and growing VA/recruitment business and a fast-growing beverage logistics company. I am also an active investor. Capital City Training is a full service technical and management development training company focused on the banking, wealth management and broader financial services and accounting industries. Having said all that, in the last couple of years we've been branching out into training for non-financial companies - manufacturing, retail, tech, defense.. so old and new economy. We also provide consultancy around modelling and are currently working for a leading PPP/PFI advisory firm. We have delivered training in every continent of the world in 2024... except Antarctica. Perhaps in 2025?! Watch this space. Capital’s dedicated faculty combine extensive line experience as corporate financiers, bankers, traders, portfolio managers and equity analysts together with over 60 years of experience in learning and development as both procurers and providers of tailored in-house training, eLearning and blended learning. Our faculty also includes experienced Management development training specialists allowing us to provide HR consultancy services, management development training and also innovative integrated management development & technical training events. Capital City’s faculty embody over 100 years of line experience across the fields of accounting, corporate finance, derivatives, credit, lending, investment, equity research transaction banking and origination.
