Wates is set to enhance its Property Services division with a new business.

The firm's new Wates Facilities Management ('Wates FM') will expand the nationwide capabilities of its FM offering, maintaining 500,000 homes and more than 350 buildings nation-wide.

Formerly operating as Wates Smartspace FM, Wates FM will build on its existing nationwide portfolio of total facilities management services across a range of environments, including banking, retail and healthcare, and will seek opportunities to provide facilities management support to both private and public sector customers.


Wates FM will work in the Property Services division alongside the company's Living Space business, combining their expertise and improving the service offered to customers.

James Gregg, Managing Director of Wates FM, said: "The launch of Wates FM is a positive step that will support the adaption of our FM services to the needs of an evolving market. Our success to date has been founded on our determination to understand and respond to our customers’ individual needs, something that has made us a trusted facilities management partner.

"I very much look forward to the next steps in this journey and to working alongside our colleagues in Wates Living Space. Our financial stability, our shared expertise and commitment to impeccable standards of service delivery, and our continuous drive to innovate will cement Wates FM's position as a leading provider of facilities management services to both public and private sector customers."
