John Wright Electrical & Mechanical Services

Hi Martin,

I'll be straight — this is a cold approach. We build bespoke job management platforms for M&E contractors.

I came across John Wright while looking at M&E contractors across Yorkshire and wanted to get in touch. I put this page together first so you can see what we actually looked at, rather than just taking my word for it.

What we found — The business

27 years and now operating at a genuinely national scale

Established in York back in 1997, you've grown into a national M&E contractor with 70+ engineers. The client list is impressive — RAF sites, English Heritage, 999 call centres, hospitals, and major contractors including Balfour Beatty. Commercial, industrial, healthcare, education — the scope of work is broad and the sectors are demanding.

That kind of national reach, with that volume of engineers, is a significant operation to coordinate from a York base.

Signal — Booking & scheduling

All customer contact routed through the phone

From what we could see on the website, every customer contact — new enquiries, job bookings, quotes — runs through a phone number or a protected contact form. There's no online booking, no client portal, and no visible quote tool. For a business dispatching 70+ engineers nationally, the coordination question is a real one: how much of that is running manually?

Signal — National growth

National expansion without visible systems to match

The website mentions you've grown into a national business, which is a meaningful step from a North Yorkshire base. The booking and operational infrastructure visible externally still looks static — phone-first, email-based. In our experience with M&E businesses at this size, that tends to create a growing admin burden as the engineer count goes up.

Signal — Engineer dispatch

No visible job management or dispatch platform

Dispatching 70+ engineers across commercial, industrial, and public sector sites nationally — with compliance requirements in sectors like healthcare and defence — is complex work. We couldn't identify any external signs of a job management platform, scheduling tool, or site app. It may well be that you have something internal — but if coordination is still largely manual, it's worth a conversation.

What we could help with

  • Job management and scheduling — a single view of all live jobs, engineers, and sites
  • Engineer dispatch and site app — job details, compliance checklists, sign-off from the field
  • Quote and booking flow — so customers aren't reliant on phone calls to get things started
  • Compliance and documentation tracking — built into the job workflow, not bolted on
  • Client portal — so major clients can track their own jobs without calling your office
  • Labour, wages and reporting — timesheet data feeding through automatically
