The event forms part of the Wates Living Space Maintenance business’ drive to bolster its local supply chain network across its Northamptonshire-based housing portfolio.

This currently includes undertaking repairs and maintenance services at over 4,500 properties on behalf of Wellingborough Homes.

Andy Brown, Operations Manager, Wates Living Space Maintenance, said: “It is a critical priority for our business that we engage local supply chain partners, the benefit of which can be seen in the local employment and training opportunities that it generates.

“Appointing Northamptonshire businesses ultimately ensures that the money invested in the region stays in the region and that the local economic impact of our work brings a lasting benefit to the community.”
