Delivering outstanding customer outcomes starts with strong partnerships.

At the annual Wates Smartspace Supply Chain Forum, partners and colleagues from across the business came together to celebrate achievements, share future ambitions and explore how collaboration, innovation and early engagement can continue to drive growth and excellence.

Bringing together a wealth of expertise, experience and shared commitment, this year’s forum focused on the trends, challenges and opportunities shaping the sector, with discussions centred on the priorities that will support sustainable growth, continuous improvement and exceptional outcomes for our customers.

Our industry is constantly evolving, and the best way to stay ahead is by learning from one another and working together. The forum provides a valuable opportunity to strengthen relationships and shape how we continue to grow, create greater value for our customers and succeed in the years ahead.”

Alongside discussions on future priorities, the forum also provided an opportunity to recognise and thank our supply chain partners for the expertise, dedication and support they bring to projects across the business. Their contribution continues to play a critical role in maintaining the highest standards of safety, quality and customer experience.

The energy and openness in the room really stood out. Bringing together so much expertise led to valuable conversations and ideas, giving me real confidence in what we can achieve in 2027 and beyond.”
