Our Investments 

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

Wolseley's current investments span nine portfolio groups of primary investments which involved the acquisition of or investment in 26 underlying businesses.

Each of these portfolio companies has a strong focus on acquisition-led or organic growth strategies. With the exception of AGS, Cartridge World and The 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.
• 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. 
• The 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.
• The Guardian Childcare Alliance is one of Australia's leading operators of child care centres, and will further strengthen its market position through organic and acquisitive growth.
• AGS World Transport is a leading Non Vessel Operating Common Carrier in Australia and Asia, and will continue to strengthen its market position through growth in key trade lanes in Asia.

In each case, Wolseley has partnered with management and owners 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.
