Above all, it's about people

regional overviews

Wates operates a strong network of regional offices across the UK, all supported by the extensive resources of the Wates Group. We believe this is a structure that benefits customers by combining the best of a local or specialist contractor, with the scale, expectations and stability of a National company.

Regionally, we have the local knowledge, supply chain and experience to deliver for our customers. All informed by the specialist and strategic knowledge of the National business units. Our Regional teams have built up strong links with the local supply chain, training and educational organisations and local charities to ensure the impact of our work is felt locally – from spending the local pound, to supporting communities in practical ways.
