The Way We Work Logo

The Way We Work is a behaviours statement developed by Tates that provides a framework of how employees can expect to manage and be managed.

Communicated and measured, the statement is mapped into our everyday business activities and is the method by which the broader company values 'The Blakemore Way', becomes a reality.


The Blakemore Way sets out in clear terms how the Blakemore family wish to do business. The ideas outlined in the Blakemore Way have been ingrained in the company’s culture since 1917 and it is important that they remain at the heart of the business for many years to come.
