We're proud to be confirmed as a delivery partner for Universal United Kingdom Resort in Bedfordshire, one of the most significant tourism and regeneration developments ever undertaken in the UK.

As the first Universal-branded theme park and resort destination in the UK and Europe, the development has the potential to generate almost £50bn of economic benefit, support 20,000 construction jobs and create a further 8,000 direct jobs once operational. The resort is expected to open in 2031.

Beyond its scale, the project has the potential to create lasting opportunities for businesses, communities and future generations across Bedfordshire and the wider UK.

At Wates, we believe that creating a positive legacy means investing not only in the projects we deliver, but also in the people and communities around them.

This summer on the AESC UK project, our teams have been involved in a range of initiatives as part of Community & Conservation Month, our Summer Start Right campaign, and engagement activities supporting the redevelopment of the SSSTS Supervisor Training programme.

From reinforcing a back-to-basics approach to safety and wellbeing, to supporting local charities, community gardens and volunteer-led organisations across Sunderland, our people have taken time to make a meaningful difference both on and off site.

We have also worked with industry partners to help shape future supervisor training, ensuring the learning experience remains relevant, engaging and effective for the next generation of construction leaders.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed their time, expertise and enthusiasm throughout the summer.
