• Maintenance of a consistent supply chain for both projects enabled cost savings in the region of £200,000 by overlapping management costs and gaining product and service efficiencies.
• A dedicated Wates Interiors management team saved the customers £195,000 by reducing the pre-contract period and providing unique package build-ability solutions.
