Sarah Cooke has been appointed as the new Wates<\/a> North West lead, replacing Dave Saville as regional director<\/h2>\n

New Wates North West lead Sarah brings more than 20 years\u2019 experience within the construction industry, gained primarily at Morgan Sindall, Lendlease and Galliford Try.<\/p>\n

Most recently, she spent more than two years at Balfour Beatty as National Framework Director where she was responsible for its successful re-procurement of the SCAPE Civils framework, the Crown Commercial Services framework and the Midlands Highways Alliance.<\/p>\n

Sarah has delivered projects in the North West across several sectors<\/h3>\n

Having started her career on site delivering large scale complex projects both within the public and private sector, her experience spans multiple strategic sectors including education, health, retail, residential, and leisure.<\/p>\n

Most recently she has focused on pre-construction<\/a> and building strong relationships with clients, both regionally and nationally.<\/p>\n

Sarah\u2019s appointment as Wates North West lead replaces Dave Saville<\/h3>\n

Dave Saville, managing director at Wates Construction North<\/a>, said: \u201cWe have firm ambitions to reach a \u00a3150m turnover in the North West by 2025 and Sarah\u2019s appointment will absolutely support us reaching this goal. Her experience working for national customers with a regional focus will be indispensable as we look to expand the sectors we work in and increase our pipeline with national organisations like the NHS and Ministry of Justice.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m thrilled to welcome Sarah to the business and I\u2019m looking forward to working with her closely as we grow our Northern operations even further.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her new role she will be responsible for leading Wates\u2019 North West operations and contributing to the growth of the Northern region as a whole, by strengthening partnerships with frameworks including CCS and Procure North West, as well as managing the delivery of major public and private sector projects.<\/p>\n

Sarah is excited to return to the North West<\/h3>\n

Wates North West regional director Sarah Cooke said:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe North West has a rich pipeline of current and potential development and I\u2019m excited to be operating in the region again, for a contractor that has such solid values clearly evident<\/a> throughout its business.<\/p>\n

“With a strong focus on customer relationships and delivering a quality product, safely, our aspirations to grow the business will develop over the next two to three years and I\u2019m looking forward to leading this expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n
