Wrights Dowson Group Screw Conveyor Specialist

From, Wright Bros to Wrights (Gamlingay) Ltd to Wrights Dowson Group. On occasions Horse Chestnut was also used for coffin boards.

Along side its established reputation for quality and speed of delivery for the manufacture and supply of screw conveyors, the Wrights Dowson Group also remain at the forefront of screw conveyor development. The original company was formed around 1750 at the site of the current factory in Gamlingay, Bedfordshire by a pair of brothers, Edward and Albert Wright, trading as Blacksmiths and Wheelwrigh

ts. In or around 1800 a Sawmills and Coachbuilding business was added, where trees such as Ash, Oak and Elm were purchased locally for the business, sawn as required and seasoned. During the 1914-18 War the business thrived in the manufacture of wooden wheels for artillery pieces and portable fire appliances. Between the two world wars the business continued with the Coachbuilding tradition but added Agricultural Implements and Machinery, with the last two handcarts made from scratch at the Gamlingay works being sold in1946 for £185 each. In 1950 the Company was purchased from Mr G.P. Wright and Wrights (Gamlingay) Ltd was incorporated.

Yesterday, Lesley-Ann and Scott from Wrights Dowson Group headed to Nottingham for the SHAPA Marketing Workshop.

It was a really productive day looking at how marketing is moving forward across engineering and manufacturing industries, especially with AI now becoming part of everyday life.

It was also great to connect with others from across the Industry and realise we’re all navigating many of the same challenges, opportunities, and changes.

A big thank you to Hallam for the engaging session, and to Louise Smallwood for organising such a worthwhile event.

As our “Meet the Team Spotlight” series comes to a close, we wanted to take a moment to bring everything together.

Since our very first Team Spotlight on 28th October, we’ve had the pleasure of introducing every member of the team who makes up Wrights Dowson Group, showcasing the people behind the roles that keep everything running smoothly.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared a little about each individual, highlighting the expertise, personality, and dedication within our team. To round off the series, we’ve created a short video featuring all the photos, names, and job titles as a quick and easy refresher.

We’re incredibly proud of the team we’ve built and grateful for the energy and commitment each person brings every day.

Thank you for following along with the series, and thank you to our team for making it what it is.
