MAKING OUR HQ OFFICE COVID-SECURE

Using a simple five-step plan, our Wates FM specialists walk our people through the changes at our HQ office in Leatherhead in preparation for their safe return to the office.

When we are ready for our people to return to the office, we want them to have the confidence we have the right precautions in place to ensure social distancing in public areas that includes walk ways, canteens, meeting rooms and tea points.

We are also providing hand sanitisers throughout the building in areas where there might be contact with public equipment such as tea points and the our touch screen printers.
