The story
Mattioli Woods was founded in 1991 by Ian Mattioli and Bob Woods before floating on the London Stock Exchange's Alternative Investment Market in 2005 with a market capitalisation of £22.5 million. The Group administers more than 16,000 clients throughout the United Kingdom and holds over £16 billion of assets under management, administration and advice.
The company has increased through a blend of natural growth and acquisitions of companies including Hurley Partners, Broughton Financial Planning, Maven Capital Partners UK LLP and Ludlow Wealth Management Group Ltd.
Mattioli Woods has several partnerships and sponsorships with organisations including AAT, Rugby League Cares, Family Business United, Rothley10k and Paralympian Sammi Kinghorn. In the summer of 2016 they sponsored the Leicester Tigers, the English rugby union, becoming an official sponsor of their shirt and stand. In October 2020 this sponsorship expanded to include naming rights to their stadium which became known as Mattioli Woods Welford Road. The 2021/22 season has also seen them become sponsors of the training kit.
Both Ian Mattioli and Bob Woods were presented with MBEs in May 2017 by Charles, Prince of Wales in an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, in recognition of their “services to business and the community”.
On March 8, 2024 it was announced that Pollen Street Capital, a private equity investor, would take over Mattioli Woods for £432 million ($553 million). The takeover would take Mattioli Woods private. As of 2024, Mattioli has over 20,000 clients.
