ASSETS: Assisting Social Enterprises to Succeed is Wates’ innovative business support programme for social enterprises in the construction industry supply chain who are aiming to scale their operations and secure larger contracts. Wates and the Impact Hub King’s Cross are working together on a pilot business mentoring programme with the shared goal of supporting social or environmental impact-driven suppliers to improve readiness to scale up and successfully compete UK-wide.
Following from our successful pilot in 2021, we will be recruiting five SEs to receive expert workshops, peer to peer sessions, business mentoring sessions with Wates colleagues and more.
