In 1929, Wolff joined the family firm Rudolf Wolff & Co. In the Second World War, Wolff served in the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry and was promoted to the rank of captain.[3] Wolff rejoined Rudolf Wolff & Co. in 1946, and became a partner in 1951.

From 1970 to 1977 Wolff became the Committee Chairman of the London Metal Exchange helping establishing the LME's international reputation. He was made a CBE in 1975.[4]

Wolff was the chairman of the Handicapped Children's Pilgrimage Trust.[5]
