Under the current contract, which began in 2016, Wates has already delivered:


• Over 30,000 repairs and 400 voids each year

• 500 free level one and two NVQ and equivalent training courses for local people

• 400 places for local people on CV and interview workshops

• 800 staff volunteer hours

• Support for local people in need through a dedicated food pantry initiative

Gary Wilkinson, Regional Managing Director, Wates Living Space, commented: "We are extremely proud of what we have achieved in partnership with Network Homes during our first five years working together. Not only have we demonstrated continued high-quality work across their properties, but we have also made a lasting impact on local people and businesses through our training, employment and volunteering initiatives."
