Top industry awards for site managers

Nine regional site managers, four of which have been responsible for developments in Bury St Edmunds, Elmswell, Stowmarket and Haverhill, have been presented with a prestigious NHBC (National House-Building Council) Pride in the Job Quality award.

Out of 10,000 of them from around the UK, these Taylor Wimpey East Anglia site managers, responsible for developments across Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, have been recognised for their dedication to building high quality homes.

Developments in the East Anglia region which are led by award-winning site managers are Lark Grange in Bury St Edmunds, Kingsbrook Place in Elmswell, Northfield View in Stowmarket, Heather Gardens in Hethersett, Hampden View in Costessey, Orchid Grove in Haverhill, Wolsey Grange in Ipswich, Varsity Grange in Northstowe, and Sewell Meadow in Old Catton.

For over 40 years, Pride in the Job Quality Awards have been highly regarded in the house-building industry and the awards are presented following a judging process by NHBC inspectors.

Calum Turner, (pictured above) site manager at Orchid Grove, continued: “This is the second award I have personally won, and the feeling is just as good, if not better than last time!”

Barry Pennock, Production Director at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said: “We have always been committed to maintaining the highest levels of quality and customer service and we continue to be an NHBC award-winning homebuilder year after year. 2021 has been our most successful year in over 10 years and we’re incredibly proud of all nine local winners. These awards are thoroughly deserved by each team.”

Steve Wood, NHBC Chief Executive, said: “Pride in the Job has been pivotal in improving the quality of new homes for more than 40 years. Despite the numerous challenges the industry has faced, the very best site managers of 2021 have remained focused on delivering high quality new homes for their customers.

“At NHBC we are very proud of Pride in the Job, what it stands for and the impact it has across the sector. Pride in the Job winning sites have higher levels of homeowner satisfaction as these homes are among the very best in the country.

“Congratulations to all the 2021 Pride in the Job Quality Award winners – be proud of what you are building and the standards you are setting.”

Pride in the Job is the only UK-wide awards scheme that recognises the significant contribution of site managers who achieve the highest standards in new home construction.
