Sharon Wright

Daughter, Mother, Grandmother, Entrepreneur, Survivor

Sharon Wright is a proud daughter, devoted mother, and adoring grandmother whose life has been defined by perseverance, compassion, and unshakable spirit. Born and raised in the north of England, Sharon's path has never been an easy one, but she has always faced adversity with courage and authenticity.

A successful entrepreneur, Sharon once captivated millions with one of the most iconic pitches on Dragons’ Den, securing investment for her invention designed to help tradespeople safely route cables. Her journey in business continued with the creation and growth of a thriving decking installation company—one that became known for its quality, innovation, and heart.

Beyond the boardroom, Sharon’s proudest role is as a mother to her daughter Molly and grandmother to two young granddaughters, whose innocence and unconditional love are her greatest source of joy. She has cherished watching them grow, playing an active role in their lives, and creating memories grounded in laughter, learning, and love.

Sharon has endured public betrayal, financial ruin, and life-threatening stress—including a near-fatal breakdown documented in her deeply personal memoir Capital Punishment. Yet, even in her darkest moments, Sharon's love for her family, especially her grandchildren, pulled her back from the edge. Their presence reminded her of her worth, her purpose, and her voice.

Now, she is committed to using her experiences to bring awareness to the emotional devastation caused by legal and financial abuse, especially when used as a weapon by powerful institutions. With love, resilience, and clarity, Sharon continues to stand up—not just for herself, but for others who have been silenced, betrayed, or broken.

Her legacy is not just in her businesses, but in her refusal to give up on truth, on justice, and on being the woman her mother raised her to be: principled, brave, and kind.

Capital Punishment

Written by Sharon Wright, one of the most successful contestants on the UK's "Dragons' Den," this is the harrowing true story of her battle against an American private equity firm who have falsely accused her of theft and fraud from the successful fencing and decking company she built with her husband John Ross.

Their endless attacks with lawfare, lies and litigation traps have resulted in Sharon attempting to take her life as well as being admitted into psychiatric care on more than one occasion. She has also lost her family, many of her friends and sadly, her marriage.

Yet despite the toll of all the trauma, pain and pressure she refuses to concede defeat and will continue to make her voice heard until there is accountability and admission of guilt from the predatory private equity firm that has put her through this years-long nightmare.

It is a gripping David and Goliath battle where "the little guys" are on their own against the massive legal might of a large financial firm who will stop at nothing to get as much as they can from their "investment."

Sharon exposes all their lies, coercion and “under the radar” tactics to break her down in this brilliant page turner of a book.
