Alec Jackman, Business Unit Director, Southern Home Counties, said: "Between them, Jason and Kevin boast over 40 years at Wates – not only are they exceptionally well placed to lead our operations across the region, their long service exemplifies the family ethos that is so pivotal to our company's success. Sarah joins us after gaining a wealth of experience across a variety of roles in her career to date, making her an incredibly valuable addition to our team.
