Who we help
A TRUSTED PARTNER
One of the highstreet’s favourite fit out and refurbishment companies
We’re trusted by some of the UK’s best-known companies and institutions. Our key customers include M&S, GSK, His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, the Ministry of Justice and the UK’s top four high street banks. This includes Lloyds Banking Group, with whom we’ve been working for 15 years.
If you’ve visited your high street recently, chances are you’ve seen the results of our work. We’re rightly proud to say that almost all our customers are in it for the long haul. In fact, over 90% of our business is in the form of a framework or long-term agreement.
HELPING OUR CUSTOMERS GO GREEN
Providing sustainable solutions
We work incredibly hard to keep our customers happy. That means providing an outstanding customer experience as we help them manage, upgrade, and refurbish their property portfolios. With a laser focus, we find the right solution. At the same time, we offer sustainable alternatives wherever possible.
That’s where our unique Wates Innovation Network of sustainable technology can add even more value to our customers.
We fit out public and private customers
We’re a growing business, with sound finances and big brand name customers who stay with us year on year. We have a 50/50 split of private and public sector customers.
We’re also supporting the Government’s ‘levelling up’ ambitions, by fitting out key regional hubs across the UK.
