At GiANT London, Graham and Stu forged a deep friendship rooted in their shared values, vision and Christian faith. Over time, their friendship and collaboration revealed a powerful synergy — not just in how they thought about leadership, but in how they approached life.
This synergy gave rise to Wakeman & Wright Group, a new class of executive leadership consultancy built to serve influential CEOs Executive Teams and growing organisations around the world.
We are shaped by a deep passion to see CEOs and executive leaders become thriving, high-performing individuals who can build teams and organisations where everyone thrives and excels in every sphere of life.

Behind the Name
When it came time to name the company, Graham and Stu explored various options. But in a pivotal conversation, they looked at their own surnames — Wakeman and Wright — and something clicked. These were not just names. They were their identities. They were callings. They were descriptors of who they are and what they already do.
Wakeman
Historically, a ‘Wakeman’ was someone appointed to announce good news, watch over a city, call people to attention — often serving as a royal representative. For us, Wakeman represents our calling to awaken leaders — to help them rediscover their identity and purpose, and their role in something greater. To gain clarity on what matters most, to thrive and to lead from a place of confidence to liberate those around them and leave a lasting legacy.

Wright
The name ‘Wright’ traces back to ancient craftsmen — wheelwrights, shipwrights, and windmill builders. These were the builders, the harnessers of power, the creators of tools and systems that multiplied human potential. For us, Wright represents the power to build — to help leaders pioneer and shape enduring organisations, unlock the potential of people, forge high impact teams, and multiply their influence in every sphere of life.

When combined, Wakeman & Wright represents a powerful partnership. One that awakens leaders to who they are and what they’re called to do — and then equips them to thrive and excel in building and multiplying that vision in ways that transform not just their organisations, but every area of their lives.
We don’t just consult and coach. We walk closely with founders, CEOs, and C-Suite leaders as trusted advisors — helping them awaken their identity, build high-performing teams, and shape legacies that last far beyond the boardroom.
