Case Study: The Goodwood Group achieves streamlined operations, improved accuracy, and cost savings with Wrike

Wrike maximizes efficiency and ensures accuracy for world‑renowned events company

Goodwood is a historic English estate that stages large-scale events—like the Festival of Speed and the Goodwood Revival—attracting over half a million visitors a year. With 750 employees and complex, cross‑departmental event operations, the team relied on spreadsheets, paper lists and email, which scattered information, created versioning errors and made ad‑hoc tasks and approvals chaotic. To scale and keep service quality high they needed a single source of truth and a cloud solution to bring everyone onto the same page.

Since adopting Wrike in 2015, Goodwood has centralized planning and approvals using dashboards, workflows, request forms, proofing and reporting. The platform cut heavy email use, improved cross‑departmental transparency, streamlined contractor and sponsor requests, and surfaced costly issues before events—saving time, reducing build expenses and freeing staff for higher‑value work. Visibility and tracking have also sped approvals, supported junior staff development, and made project ownership clearer across the organization.
