2022 ANNUAL RESULTS

Our highest ever operating profit

For our last financial year (2022) we reported a profit of £33.7m on our highest ever turnover of £1.89bn, up 17% on 2021. We secured £2.8bn of new work during 2022 with a record forward order book of £8.35bn, up 17% from 2021, which was itself a record year for turnover.

The performance outlined in these accounts and reports testifies to Wates’ continued strength and resilience in the face of unprecedented global shocks. I congratulate the Board, the Executive Committee and our colleagues for these impressive results.
