We guide, plan and design the future of the built environment. As a global consultancy with extensive technical and advisory expertise, we bring a Total Design approach to our work with our clients. This is how we shape a better world.

We started out in 1760 as a marine classification society. Today, we’re one of the world’s leading providers of professional services for engineering and technology – improving safety and increasing the performance of critical infrastructures for customers in over 75 countries worldwide. The profits we generate fund the Lloyd’s Register Foundation, a charity which supports engineering-related research, education and public engagement around everything we do. All of this helps us stand by the purpose that drives us every single day: Working together for a safer world.

The Wates Group was established in 1897 and is one of the leading privately-owned construction, development and property services companies in the UK. We employ almost 6,000 people, working with a range of clients and partners from across the public and private sectors. Also, we strive to continue our DEI efforts to ensure a supportive workplace through our initiatives and employee networks. We are proud to sponsor Premiership Women's Rugby, driving impactful change to redefine what inclusion and equal opportunity look like in rugby and the built environment industry.
