HISTORY
2003 - 2009
The WRAITH brand was born in 2003, beginning as an independent sole proprietor founded by British Army Veteran Richard Matthews who had his military career cut short after being wounded in service. Initially offering hostile environment risk management services in the early 2000's, the enterprise grew to provide large scale force protection for allied governments and agencies through to 2009.
2009 - 2022
As the world changed the enterprise naturally evolved to offer infrastructure and engineering services. Now as a partnership with brothers Richard, an engineer, and David, a logistics specialist.
The partnership evolved through various transitions into WRAITH DEFENCE TECHNOLOGIES LTD an engineering company serving the defence and law enforcement industries.
2023
WRAITH incorporated as a limited liability company in England & Wales in early 2023, with several generations of the Matthews family still working hard within the business. Under our new leadership, the WRAITH family are more ambitious than ever, although our very humble beginnings and total dedication to excellence will never be forgotten.
