Our Investments 

Wolseley's Private Equity investment strategy is differenticated by its emphasis on value creation through a focus on strategy. Wolseley Private Equity is attracted by opportunities to invest in quality companies with strong growth prospects.

Wolseley's current investments span five portfolio groups of primary investments which involved the acquisition of or investment in 21 underlying businesses.

Each of these portfolio companies has a strong focus on acquisition-led or organic growth strategies. With the exception of Cartridge World, each of the company's has made bolt on acquisitions. CoxGomyl and Cartridge World are global leaders in their industries, each with a network of international offices. Freshmax has significant operations across New Zealand and Australia and is a driver of consolidation in its sector. Pacific Services Group has been transformed from a state based business into a co-ordinated national leader. NextMedia has become the fourth largest magazine publisher in Australia. 

In each case, Wolseley has partnered with management to support the building of businesses with greater scale and stronger systems. Coupled with profit growth and de-leverage, this generates a multi-layered approach to creating value and returns.
