NEW MD FOR WATES’ SMARTSPACE DIVISION

Scott Camp

Wates Group, a family-owned construction, property services and residential development company, has appointed a new Managing Director of its £145m specialist fit-out and refurbishment division, Wates Smartspace.

Scott Camp, currently the division’s Commercial Director, was appointed after a competitive recruitment process and will take up his new role from 1st September 2020, reporting to David Morgan, Executive Managing Director of Wates Property Services. 

The announcement forms part of a series of changes at the Wates Group, which were launched last month as it restructures its operations to focus on the opportunities that lie ahead in its key markets. The restructure saw former Smartspace MD, Helen Bunch, take over the leadership of the Group’s successful Residential business and saw Smartspace become part of the Wates Property Services (WPS) business. 

Scott joined Wates in 2002 as a project surveyor, having spent the previous six years at the specialist shop-fitting contractor, Plaza Interiors. Since joining Wates, Scott has held a number of positions within the business.  In his most recent role as Smartspace’s Commercial Director, he led a national team of 65 surveyors with great success.  

Scott Camp said: “These are challenging times for our industry, but I believe Smartspace is uniquely positioned to find opportunities as customers review how they use their premises in a post-pandemic environment.

“Smartspace has the flexibility to adapt and respond quickly to changing circumstances, and recent appointments to help government departments reopen their premises on a COVID-secure basis have demonstrated how our teams can be trusted to work under pressure and in critical environments.

“We work across an enormous range of sectors right across the UK and are actively discussing with many of our customers how we can help them upgrade and make best use of their estates.  I look forward to leading the business through this next, exciting stage of our development and growth.”
