I have grown up with the wool industry. My father was a woolbuyer and still works in the industry with my company preparing our lots for sale and attending the auctions. I was born in the South Island where wool was a prerequisite to fending off the cold! I have always understood the value of wool. My whole career has been dedicated to this industry. I believe in the versatility, sustainability and the sheer fabulous nature of our wonder fibre wool.

I am offering what I believe to be the best service to you. I understand the whole process from sheeps back to manufacture. I recognise what is required to give the grower the best possible price and how to deliver accurate quality parcels of wool to the exporter.

I have employed people who share my passion, knowledge and understanding of this industry. We are a small group of people but we produce big results.

This is a family business where everyone gets involved. My partner Dean Freeman has been our auctioneer, my son Nicholas worked in the store over study breaks while being educated and now continues with advice gained from this education whilst my father still assists with our auctions and recently my daughter Rebecca helped instigate our latest venture, ‘The Wright Wool pillow’.
