Our Investments 

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

Wolseley's current investments span seven portfolio groups of primary investments which involved the acquisition of or investment in 25 underlying businesses.

Each of these portfolio companies has a strong focus on acquisition-led or organic growth strategies. With the exception of Cartridge World and Byron Group, all the companies have 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 fully integrated national leader. NextMedia has become the fourth largest magazine publisher in Australia. Byron Group has leveraged its position as the leading manufacturer of ambulances in Australia, to develop further solutions for health related sectors and beyond. Abergeldie has continued to grow its capabilities in complex infrastructure solutions across sectors including water, substations, bridges and mining.

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.
