Wates merged its Interiors and Retail businesses in 2012. The new name is intended to reflect that the division also does maintenance and refurbishment work as well as fit-out.
Wates Smartspace managing director Helen Bunch said: “As the markets change, our flexible approach and breadth of capabilities is seeing us win work beyond traditional retail and office fit out work, and we’re delighted to have a new name that better reflects our ongoing achievements and expertise.â€
