About Wates

We believe in delivering the promise. That’s why we are focused on becoming the first UK contractor to deliver for customers on time, on budget, every time.

Wates Group is a family-owned construction services company, whose values, long term vision and financial independence have enabled us to thrive throughout the economic ups and downs of more than a century.

Our distinctive culture celebrates people, partnership and sustainability. We are always exploring new ways for the construction industry to work together on strategic issues such as reducing waste and boosting skills.

We pride ourselves on our ethical behaviour and have set out our values and principles in our Code of Conduct. The UK Bribery Act 2010 requires us to have in place adequate procedures to prevent bribery. Our Chief Executive has set out our commitment to this.
