Wates Living Space has won a new multi-million pound contract to help bring homes back into use on behalf of housing association, bpha.

David Morgan, Managing Director of Wates Living Space, said: "At the heart of all of our work are the people whose homes we are welcomed into to carry out repairs. The teams have done an excellent job in ensuring their wellbeing at all times. Open, honest and respectful communication has been a huge priority ensuring that bpha customers are informed, understood and, crucially, happy with our work.
"We very much look forward to nurturing our partnership approach to working with bpha in the coming years and continuing to support their commitment to provide customers with high quality and value for money."
