Founded it. Scaled it. Sold it to private equity.

WPI LTD is a holding company. It is not an agency and it is not a fund. It has no employees and runs no operating business of its own: it owns, funds and steers the companies below it, and holds a portfolio of investments across Europe.

What makes the difference is where those companies came from. They were built, not bought, and the people who founded and ran them sit on this company's board. Day to day decisions belong to each business and its own management. WPI acts as the shareholder: it appoints directors, approves the accounts and decides where the group's capital goes next.

The approach is deliberately narrow. A small number of holdings, followed closely, held for as long as they compound. Where WPI takes a minority position it does so alongside partners it knows, with its own capital at risk and no outside investors to answer to. Investment decisions, and the appointment of the directors of the companies below, are taken by the board of WPI LTD as a body.

Everything on this page is a matter of public record at the Malta Business Registry and at the Italian company register. The purpose of the page is to state it plainly in one place.

WPI LTD prepares annual financial statements which are subject to statutory audit and are filed with the Malta Business Registry, in line with the requirements of the Maltese Companies Act. Meetings of the board and of the shareholder are held at the registered office in Malta, where the company's statutory registers and minute books are kept.

The company is administered by a board of three directors and its decisions are taken by the board as a body. Information on directors, shareholders and beneficial ownership is kept current in the registers held by the Malta Business Registry.
