The key aims of the Watts Academy are:
- To invest in people and thereby develop and enhance our business in a sustainable way.

- To promote professional excellence and develop technical expertise of the highest standard.
- To provide responsive and flexible staff members at every level of the business, capable of identifying and reacting to emerging opportunities and threats to the business.
