We are working with The Wates Group to produce three films educating children within schools on the process of working in a construction company. Wates, established in 1897, is one of the UK’s leading property, construction and residential development companies, and are enthusiastic about getting children interested in the construction industry.

We have been filming in Leeds at Wates’ new build, Wellington Place and the Head Office in Leatherhead, Surrey. Here we produced two films and a 2D animated video is currently in production. The videos feature shots walking through a construction site and office spaces, talking to two groups of children about the company and their job roles, and highlighting specific departments within the company including HR, Marketing, Finance and IT departments. The children interviewed various members of staff including engineers, management and the CEO, discussing what its like to work for Wates and what they love most about their jobs. The animated film will feature 3 characters identified as managers, dressed in Wates PPE. This will discuss Wates’ focus on sustainability, ethical practices and social values.

We are looking forward to sharing this project with you!
