Waterstons features in the City of London Corporation’s Impact Report 2025-2026

As a new supplier to the corporation, through our work on PoliceCyberAlarm, we're really pleased to have been featured in this years' report.

Our impact was recognised following an apprenticeship hire through our first dedicated social value-led schools outreach scheme.  We invite local schools and colleges into our offices to hear careers talks from across different areas of our business but also to highlight the less traditional pathways into tech and the ‘squiggly careers’ people have had here at Waterstons.

Though we've hired many apprentices over the years, this initiative aims to open up careers in tech to a more diverse range of people who may not have considered that this could be an option for them and we're so pleased to have been able to offer a young person a great start to an excellent career opportunity.  

The report showcases our achievement alongside many others.

Deputy Benjamin Murphy, Chair of Projects & Procurement Sub-Committee said:

“At the City of London Corporation, we believe responsible procurement is not an optional extra; it is fundamental to how we provide excellent services. Every purchasing decision is a chance to generate wider value for society.

 "This year, we received more evidence of positive impact from our contract managers and suppliers than ever before. In this impact report, I am proud to share the many ways our supply chain has delivered meaningful impact through; supporting apprenticeships, championing small and diverse businesses, reducing carbon emissions, advancing modern slavery awareness and investing directly in local communities.

 "These achievements demonstrate what is possible when organisations work together with shared purpose. Partnership is woven into the DNA of the City Corporation and remains essential to delivering the best outcomes for the people we serve.”
