What Wright Engineering does

Wright Engineering (legal entity: Wright Brothers Industrial Services Limited) is a UK-headquartered, privately held engineering design, fabrication, and installation company founded in 1986 and operating from Worksop, Nottinghamshire. The company specialises in turnkey bulk materials processing and handling solutions, designing and manufacturing conveyor systems (500mm–2000mm wide, up to 3,000 tph throughput), structural steelwork, silos/hoppers/vessels, control cabins, and bespoke machinery — supported by a wholly in-house design team (principal, structural, and designer engineers), purpose-built fabrication facilities exceeding 3,000m2 across Worksop and Harworth, on-site shotblast and paint shops, and a dedicated R&D Centre. Its technology platform includes proprietary Locker SFH Electro Magnetic Feeders (acquired from Rotex UK in 2015) using Natural Frequency tuning with throughputs from under 1tph to over 1,100tph and in-service life exceeding 40 years, plus ATEX-rated vibrating conveyors, DD Electro-Mechanical Feeders, and tube conveyors.

Revenue is generated through three streams: custom engineering projects (one-off design/fabrication/installation contracts ranging from small maintenance works to multi-million-pound multi-year scopes such as the £5.5M Mountsorrel Crusher and £6.42M Keppel Seghers contracts), equipment supply (conveyors, silos, hoppers, vessels, control cabins, rock breakers, spare parts), and after-sales services (spares, maintenance, breakdowns, commissioning, panel repairs, upgrades on own and third-party equipment). The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting UK blue-chip industrial clients, with no disclosed pricing (B2B quote-based) and GTM reliant on long-term relationships spanning 30+ years. Customer segments served across eight verticals are quarrying and aggregates, building products, energy and power, recycling and waste, food, construction, ports, and utilities. The company is privately held with no parent entity, holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, BS EN 1090 EXC3 UKCA/CE Marking and BS EN ISO 3834-2 certifications, and is a member of MHEA and an ECITB-licensed training provider, operating with 150+ employees and approximately £15M+ annual turnover.
