This summer, we were proud to host a groundbreaking exhibition, in partnership with Parliament, showcasing the work underway to transform the Norman Shaw North building on the Parliamentary Estate.

Our Construction East business attended the re-opening of Derby’s Market Hall, which it helped restore and reinvigorate.

Following a tender process, our Construction business has been awarded the £110.6m contract to repair and refurbish the iconic Victoria Tower, to preserve it for future generations.

Wates’ continued work on the parliamentary estate will be spotlighted on Bill Bailey’s Master Crafters Show tonight, which features our Grade I Listed refurbishment of the Norman Shaw North building.

A new time capsule has been sealed within the walls of Derby Market Hall, containing a snapshot of life in Derby in 2024 for future generations to uncover.

We were appointed by Derby City Council to refurbish and transform Derby’s Grade II Listed Victorian Market Hall into a contemporary, vibrant retail and leisure destination.
