Leading housebuilder Miller Homes is celebrating after Andy Halladay, site manager of Leyland development Croston Meadow, received a Quality Award in the first round of this year’s annual NHBC Pride in the Job Awards, for the third year in a row.
Now in their 39th year, the awards are recognised as being among the most prestigious in the housebuilding industry and celebrate the exceptional contribution site managers make in providing new homes of outstanding quality.
Every homebuilder registered under the NHBC Buildmark is entered into the competition, with site managers meticulously assessed across 44 areas of site management, including technical knowledge, consistency of the build process and quality controls.
Fred Swinburne, Regional Production Director for Miller Homes in the North West commented: “Being recognised with a Pride in the Job Quality Award is a tremendous accolade for any site manager and is richly deserved by Andy, who has demonstrated a consistent and committed approach to on-site standards of quality and safety in the building of our new homes in Leyland. We are very proud of his achievements and wish him all the very best for the next stages of the competition.”
Commenting on the Awards, NHBC Chief Executive Steve Wood said: “Launched nearly 40 years ago, Pride in the Job has been instrumental in driving up the quality of new homes. Despite the challenges the industry has faced in recent times, this year’s winners have kept their focus on delivering high quality new homes for their customers.
“A site manager’s role is undoubtedly one of the toughest in house building and their drive for excellence is very much at the heart of the competition. Receiving a Quality Award is a great achievement for any site manager. It’s no surprise that Pride in the Job winning sites have higher levels of customer satisfaction as these homes are without doubt among the best the UK has to offer.”
The next round of the competition will be held in the autumn, where Andy will have the opportunity to win a Seal of Excellence as well as competing for the Regional title in the North West for his work in Leyland. The regional winners will then go on to compete for the national Supreme Award in their categories at the Pride in the Job Gala Dinner, taking place in London on 24 January 2020.
Croston Meadow is a beautiful development offering a range of two, three and four bedroom traditional and contemporary homes from £200,000 – combining rural appeal with the everyday conveniences of day-to-day life, such as nearby supermarkets, doctors surgeries, as well as The Little Farm Shop that sells locally sourced produce.
