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.

Thinking about moving home in Attleborough over the next year? Whether you’re a first-time buyer, landlord, or homeowner, understanding whether today’s market favours buyers or sellers is key. Here’s a closer look at Attleborough’s 2025 property trends and what they mean for you.

Autumn may not be the first season that comes to mind when people think about moving, but it can be a surprisingly strong time to sell.

With the right preparation, your home can stand out and attract motivated buyers even as the nights draw in.

If you’re hoping to be in your new home by Christmas, time is running out. With UK sale timelines now topping 200 days from listing to completion, September may be your last chance to start the process. Here’s what you need to know before it’s too late…

Thinking of selling your home or simply curious about what’s really happening in Attleborough’s property market? Behind every monthly figure lies a story about where values are heading and what it means for you as a homeowner or landlord. Understanding the trend could shape your next move—and help you stay ahead.
