Wright Investments actively invests in UK specialist engineering and light industrial technology businesses with potential for the long term. We provide the resources and investment structure required to allow these businesses to realise their full potential and deliver shareholder value over the long term. We are highly experienced at investing in SME organisations with ongoing ownership, financial, commercial or management challenges often driven by dysfunctional boards or mis-aligned objectives between stakeholders; we help them to overcome their current challenges to realise and release the value within the business.

We are experts at driving growth through new business development and account management in the high value engineering sector. Wright Sales is a dedicated, in-house team of business development and sales specialists who use proven techniques to assess growth markets, identify and engage target customers and convert these leads into sustainable sales. Our highly-focused approach and industry experience means that we always look to develop new customers who exactly fit the target profile and who will contribute to long-term, high-value growth.

With 50 years of turnaround experience, Wright Industries excels at improving the performance of businesses that have not yet realised their full potential. We work closely with the existing management team to fully understand the complexities and bottlenecks within a business. By fully understanding the problem, we can then work with the management teams to develop targeted action plans with clear expectations and accountabilities. In the last 20 years, our investments have won awards including European Tech Start Up of the Year, four times winner of the UK Manufacturer of the Year and Employer of the Year.

In many of the businesses that we invest it, growth has often been restricted by legacy business systems and processes. Wright Operations can provide experts to ensure that the business is operationally robust and address the systemic issues that are holding it back. We have the industry expertise in manufacturing and component supply to resolve operational issues quickly and cost-effectively, using a common-sense approach to develop systems that are appropriate for an SME.

People are at the heart of all our investments. It is essential that the employees within our portfolio are given the necessary support and opportunity to develop, so that they are empowered and motivated to deliver world-class service for their customers and stakeholders. The dedicated Wright HR team works with our investment portfolio to ensure that they have the resources and skills needed to develop high-performing teams that can deliver growth.
