Back to EpisodesWates Family's Grief & Legacy: Organ Donation & Memorial Trust
Description
Orla Wates, a 19-year-old from a wealthy British construction family, tragically lost her life in a motorbike accident in Vietnam during her gap year. Her cousin, William, had met a similar fate at the same age in 1996, shot by bandits in Honduras. Both were adventurous spirits, taking time off before college. Orlas parents, Andrew and Henrietta, found solace in donating her organs, which saved three lives. The family, worth nearly £600 million, has a long-standing building empire and launched a memorial trust after Williams death to help disadvantaged kids. Despite their losses, the family remains strong, with their business thriving.
