Welcome

Reimagining places for people to thrive.

Imagine you are a HR professional seeking to work for an organisation that truly values its people. A business where its people cohesively work together for the greater good of the environments in which they work. If this sounds aligned to you, then please read on.

Over the coming pages you will learn more about Wates as an organisation and the HR opportunity itself that will look to enhance the employee experience journey.

Wates are one of the UK’s leading family-owned development, building and property maintenance companies.

In the face of today’s environmental and social pressures, they know the built environment must do more.

It can help unlock people’s potential, improve health and wellbeing, and shape future prospects. It can change lives and strengthen communities in ways few other industries can.

They want to lead the way in making this happen. They have a proud legacy for quality, safety and social value. So, they are setting themselves a new purpose to guide everything they do. By making sure every decision ladders up to this purpose, they can take their business into the future and have an even greater positive impact in the world.

Their new purpose, ‘reimagining places for people to thrive’ will help them adapt and transform to tackle the seismic challenges that they face – as a company, an industry and as society as a whole. They have always looked to be at the forefront of positive change within their industry – and that is an approach they strengthen today.
