A site manager working with Barratt Homes on the Isle of Wight has won a top national award.
James Cleary, site manager at the housebuilder’s St George’s Gate development in Newport, has won a National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in The Job Quality award, which credits him as the best in the UK.
Known as the “Oscars of the housebuilding industry”, these prestigious awards recognise the finest site managers from around the country.
In total, Barratt site managers in the region have won four Pride in the Job Quality awards this year. This is the 17th year in a row that Barratt has won more Pride in the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder, showing its long-term commitment to building high quality homes.
The awards, now in their 41st year, rate site managers against key criteria such as technical expertise, health and safety, consistency, leadership and attention to detail. The awards celebrate the vital role site managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on-time, on safe sites, and to the highest quality standards.
Every site manager who is registered with the NHBC is automatically entered into the awards, with just 450 winners being selected from 11,000 entrants, showing how difficult they are to win.
These awards come off the back of a Barratt site manager being crowned the overall winner in last year’s awards. Kirk Raine, senior site manager, won the supreme award, the fifth time in the last six years that a Barratt site manager has won the top prize.
Mark Keen, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Construction Director, said:
“Winning these awards is not only a great achievement for our award-winning site managers, but also for their wider teams and all of the sub-contractors involved, as well as the business as a whole.
“Following a challenging year for the construction industry, it’s great that our site managers can be recognised as leaders in their field. My personal congratulations go to James and all of the winners.”
James is over the moon to have received this prestigious award and says it’s down to having a dedicated team.
He said:
“It’s such an amazing feeling to get recognised for all of the hard work and dedication that the whole team has put in. The buzz on site now is incredible!”
Pride in the Job award winner, James Cleary is building homes at St George’s Gate in Newport. The new development is a collection of three-bedroom homes close to the town centre. It’s within walking distance of local shops, schools and cafes, and surrounded by rolling fields and country walks.
