Working at the Eric Wright Group of companies is truly special; we are a commercially focused business with a social purpose. Forward thinking, yet retaining, much lost, traditional values, we are extremely proud of our dedicated, passionate and friendly colleagues who live our values and work hard to make a difference every day. When Eric Wright set up the business, his vision was to provide opportunities within the construction industry for employees to enjoy a career in their respective professions without the threat of shareholder sale or exploitation. 100% of the shareholding in the Eric Wright Group is owned by the Eric Wright Charitable Trust, a charitable body that was established on principles of sustained employment and community regeneration. We achieve this through the reinvestment of time, money and resources. This provides a high level of stability for the Group and supports longer-term commercial and charitable strategies. All profits generated by the Eric Wright Group are either reinvested in the Group's business or distributed to the Trust for its charitable activities throughout the North West providing stability and growth, free from short term aims of institutional shareholders, while enabling the Trust to benefit from the commercial success of the group and expand its range of charitable activities within the communities.
