we succeed

More than 114 years of business growth, professional ownership by one family and one of the strongest financial positions in the industry, provides a unique bedrock for Wates’ success. A high level of our business comes from existing clients and we are focused on improving that to 90% across the group in 2012. This means that from the leadership to the supply chain, we are passionate about building your trust and putting our expertise and knowledge to work to create long term value for you.

In 2010, we were proud to win Major Contractor of the Year at the Building Awards for the second year running, commended for our commitment to innovation and approach to CSR and communities. Wates entered the Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For list for the first time in 2010 and received a special award for "Giving Something Back". Wates also achieved Platinum status in the Business in the Community Corporate Responsibility Index. What makes us even more proud is that 99% of our projects were delivered on time and 100% on budget.

The success of delivering your vision is why Wates builds with such care.
