@rich9573 - new wheels will depend on your budget. Given my son races, and is sponsored, I've a few suggestions below:
Aluminium, £250-ish: Superstar Components do nice wheels, very good for the price. We've used them for London-Edinburgh-London through to a national crit race. Sign up for their newsletter and buy when it's on discount
- my LEL wheelset was just £80 new. https://www.superstarcomponents.com/en/
Carbon, £400+ to ++++:
£400-500 buys you Novatec carbon wheels. They used to have negative press but have improved their hubs in recent years. We currently use a couple of their wheelsets for training. Bought via eBay / Chinese wheel importers.
£500 + a bit gets you Prime from Wiggle/Chain Reaction - we bought a 38mm BlackEdition set this winter. Decent carbon wheels from an online retailer: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/prime/wheels
£700-1000 gets you Zed wheels - we bought a 50mm set of these over the winter as well. Hand-built and lightweight. Nice guy, makes the lightest wheels in the world (see the £+++++ above) https://zedbikewheels.com/
£700-1200 buys you NR6 wheels. These are one of my son's sponsors and are used by his team - JRC Shutt Ridley RT. Mention (Tim Lane, JRC Shutt Ridley and you might get a discount ) https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063709052076 / https://nr6cycles.co.uk/
There are lots of other options, but these are the ones we've found to work for us at a sensible price/performance point.
