With its network of offices throughout the UK and mainland Europe, Watts is well placed to provide a consistent and rapid response to high street and out-of-town retail clients as well as pubs, restaurants and landlords with a bias towards retail tenants. There continues to be cautious expansion among major retailers, with the large supermarkets driving forward their building programmes. The Group’s increasing European presence has enabled Watts to develop technical and consultancy services tailored to meet the changing requirements of those clients that are expanding or refurbishing their portfolios.
Services include undertaking schedules of condition for acquisition or lease purposes, engineering advice, planned preventative maintenance and environmental advice on aspects such as compliance with European legislation.
A retail forum, which includes representatives from each of the Group’s regional offices, has been established to actively support clients, wherever they are located. Demonstrating Watts’ commitment to the sector, the forum and office network is matched to the regional spread of clients, enabling staff to service projects rapidly and effectively.
