Wates Group announce major programme to bring more women into construction👩🏻‍🦰👩🏽👩🏻

Family-owned construction, residential development, and property services business, Wates Group, is celebrating its 125th anniversary year with the launch of a new programme to bring 125 women into the construction industry by 2025.

The company will work in partnership with Women into Construction (WiC) to provide training and employment opportunities for women at all stages of their careers.
With less than 15% of the UK construction workforce represented by women - a figure that reduces to 1% for trade roles – Wates and WiC will deliver four employment schemes over a two-year period, each targeting a different area of the business. As well as supporting women into a variety of site-based roles, from project manager to surveyor, it will engage with managers and employees from across the Group to ensure an inclusive environment for all, including female colleagues.

This data shows a clear north–south split in UK housing supply. Homes for sale are rising across London and the South, while much of the North is seeing stock fall. The contrast raises questions about affordability, confidence, and whether higher supply in the South could limit house price growth into 2026.
