Amy Sheppard
Creative Service Executive
“I first joined Wates in 2017 as an Administrator, and eight years later, I’m proud to be working as a Creative Services Executive. Returning when my daughter was two, it truly felt like coming home. Wates has consistently empowered me to grow, evolve, and take on new challenges. The support I’ve received has enabled me to thrive – both professionally and as a parent.”
