Mark Goodliffe in Series 62...
...and 13 years later in Series 88!

Mark Goodliffe was a contestant in Series 62 and 88. At the time of his first appearance in 2010, he was a finance director. As of his return in 2023, he was a non-executive director and former chief financial officer. He was from London and was also a qualified chartered accountant.

Goodliffe is a 12-time winner of The Times Crossword Championships, with a remarkable undefeated run spanning 2008 to 2017. He is also a former UK Sudoku Champion.
