Wates is one of the largest and most successful family-owned private construction, development and property services companies in the UK employing over 4,000 people and working with more than 10,000 supply-chain operatives and partners to successfully deliver our projects throughout the UK.
Now in our fourth generation of family ownership, Wates’ professional family shareholders are committed to the future of the business, growing the Wates Group in a sustainable way over the long term, with a view to handing over to the next generation.
Our company values of integrity, intelligence, performance, teamwork and respect for people, communities and the environment run through our business at every level and are at the heart of everything we do.
Our award-winning corporate social responsibility and sustainability programmes underpin our vision to become the most trusted partner in the built environment, leaving a positive legacy for the communities in which we work and live.
Above all, it’s our people who make Wates successful, and only by recruiting the best people, providing an environment where diversity, opinions, inclusivity and opportunity are encouraged, will we achieve our ambitious growth plans.

Our key priorities are focused around three core activities:
A diverse and inclusive workforce brings many benefits. As a business we want to be fully representative of the communities where we work and our culture of inclusivity and diversity recognised by employees, customers and communities.
Having the right people, with the right skills and behaviours to do the job, regardless of their background is key to achieving our planned growth.
I think too many of my peers overlook construction as being an industry that is just for men, when in reality the huge variety of roles makes it perfect for so many people, regardless of their gender
