He was educated at Eton College and Oxford University, where he was a co-founder of the Oxford Film Foundation. Wigram then worked as a runner for producer Elliott Kastner. After working for Kastner for several years, he eventually produced several low budget films for him in partnership with Cassian Elwes. He then spent ten years working in the independent world both as an executive and as a producer. He ran Renny Harlin's Company and worked at Shep Gordon and Carolyn Pfeiffer’s company, Alive Films.

Aside from the Sherlock franchise, Wigram was also executive producer of the last four Harry Potter films, as well as August Rush and The Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'hoole.
