Few companies can say that their products are used to make jewellery, extinguish 400ºC battery fires and build suspension bridges. Goodwin (GDWN) is one such company, however – and very few people outside the UK investor community have even heard of it.
“We have a rich industrial heritage in the UK, which we rarely explore or communicate well. But Goodwin is one of the last great legacies of that,” says Simon Moon, co-manager of Unicorn’s UK Smaller Companies Fund, which lists the group as its top holding.
