Wates has strengthened its team working across the Homes Counties by appointing Martin Kramer as a Pre-Construction Director.

With over 25 years of industry experience, Mr Kramer joins the company having worked for 20 years at Skanska as Education Director.

In his new position, Mr Kramer will lead on all aspects of pre-construction activity across the Home Counties.

During his time at Skanska, he was responsible for delivery of the final schools of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.

Other projects Mr Kramer has worked on during his career include The Gherkin and the Heron Tower in the City of London.


Ian Vickers, Managing Director of Wates Construction Home Counties, said: "Martin's appointment is a significant coup for Wates, and his arrival reflects our ambition to be the premier contractor in the region, delivering a wide variety of high quality projects across the Home Counties.

"I am confident that we will be able to deliver an unrivalled preconstruction offering that will allow us to both win more work in key markets and ensure projects are delivered to the highest possible standard.

Speaking on his new appointment, Mr Kramer said: "Wates is known throughout the industry as being a contractor that delivers quality, forward thinking projects and I'm thrilled to be joining such a talented and dynamic team. While we already have a strong footing in across the South East and South West, I am confident we can make further inroads into our key markets and deliver more exceptional projects across the region."
