We believe in delivering the promise. That’s why we are focused on becoming the first UK contractor to deliver for customers on time, on budget, every time.

Three business improvement programmes are in place to achieve this, driving visibility and best practice through all our projects.

Corporate responsibility is at the heart of our activities. In 2005 and 2006 Wates was placed in BITC’s Top 100, meaning that we have one of the very best CR scores in the UK. Whether it’s our annual Community Day, when every employee donates time to a local organisation, our focus on developing clear, exciting and challenging career paths for every employee, or our drive to manage 90% of our customers' work within mutually beneficial strategic partnerships, we anchor our activity in best practice.
