NIGEL WRIGHT
Professional
Professionally my interests centre on Corporate Finance, combining numerate certainty with a broad minded strategic outlook.
I qualified as a Chartered Accountant with Mann Judd and Co in 1973 before working in financial roles for Carrington Viyella, EMI Records, and Tefal. In 1980 I gained an MBA from INSEAD and joined Citibank.
In 1984 I a co-founded and was MD of Industrial Technology Securities (ITS) an EIS (then BES) Venture capital fund manager that invested £3.5M into 20 early stage technology companies, returning £8.5M to investors/management and leaving a legacy of at least 10 businesses that trade today, albeit mainly as parts of other businesses.
ITS wound down in 1988 when changes in the tax rates precluded making further investments.
