Wates Living Space has been shortlisted in the "Sustainable Social Housing Contractor of the Year" category of The Sustainable Housing Awards 2012, organised by Inside Housing magazine and its sister publication Sustainable Housing.

This awards scheme focuses on the best "green" social housing projects constructed in the UK, and the organisations responsible for them. The trophies will be presented at a suitably "eco" awards ceremony where the menu has been selected with minimum food miles and all the main ingredients have come from across the UK on Friday 19 October at the Hilton Hotel on London’s Park Lane.


Ian Burnett, Managing Director of Wates Living Space said: "We were delighted to be awarded this accolade in 2011 and to be shortlisted again in 2012 is credit to the work we are dong not only with our clients to address sustainability within their stock but also as a business committing to minimising our impact on the environment and supporting the communities which we live and work."

Jess McCabe, Editor of the Sustainable Magazine said: "Now in their fifth year, the Sustainable Housing awards 2012 have, once again, been inundated with entries from the leading green organisations featuring the most innovative and impressive projects in the UK. It is a fantastic achievement for Wates Living Space to be shortlisted in the face of such fierce competition. We are thrilled to be able to host the awards ceremony that recognises the work of the housing sector’s sustainable pioneers."
