Symes & Wright were formed as a gunmaker in London in 1987. Both Peter Symes and Alex Wright had previously worked for James Purdey & Sons and decided to set up business on their own. With a flair for design and marketing and a fresh outlook, the company was quickly established as a serious competitor to the existing London makers. At a time when the London trade was slowly pulling out of recession and perceived as old and stuffy, Symes & Wright were like a breath of fresh air. During the company's short history it produced some of the best guns to come out of London since the 1930s. To quote from one of the company's advertisements, "We are not trading on a reputation established over a century ago, nor do we waste energy marketing luxury goods associated with our name. Our business is quite simply building the finest sporting guns money can buy, without compromise, without exception".
