How letting works

The whole agreement fits on one sheet

Jack Wright set the estate up so local businesses could get going in industry without great amounts of red tape. The family still lets it the same way: no lengthy legal paperwork, just a single sheet.

The estate

Farmland by the railway, turned over to local business

In 1963 Jack Wright bought farmland next to the railway at Great Bentley and began the estate now known as Plough Road Business Centre.

It is still owned and managed by the family company, Wright Ruffell Ltd. Most of the estate is small businesses that hire locally, and tenants often share what they know and help one another out.
