Wates’ site offices

Wates is leading the way in improving staff site comfort while reducing carbon emissions and waste – all on a tight budget.

Remanufactured furniture is providing Wates with a range of environmental, social and economic benefits

Retaining Staff

With remanufactured furniture, Wates is able to afford attractive and comfortable ergonomic seating and desking.

This solves the problem of site-based staff feeling undervalued compared to office-based staff who have historically had better quality furniture.

It also provides a more professional environment for hosting clients on site.

Environmental Benefits

Choosing remanufactured furniture has enabled Wates to:

  • reduce carbon emissions
  • reduce site waste (the furniture is re-homed by Rype at the end of each project)
  • improve the sustainability score of its proposals
  • demonstrate sustainability innovation and leadership to clients

All without adding cost or compromising on quality.
