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

Tommy Stirling, production director for Taylor Wimpey East Scotland, commented: “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.

“These individual awards are thoroughly deserved and we’re incredibly proud that we have some of the best site managers in Scotland.”

He continued: “This year two of our winners – James and Mitchell – are picking up their first Pride in the Job Award, while Barry and Eddie have consistently achieved great success in the competition over the years and Gavin previously won an award in 2020 for his work at our Heartlands development.

“Each site manager’s success demonstrates our drive to deliver the highest levels of quality, service commitment to our customers right across the east of Scotland.” 

Steve Wood, NHBC chief executive, said: “For more than 40 years, Pride in the Job has been an important part of our work to help drive construction quality. Winning site managers tell us that it inspires them to give a little extra and to strive harder for ever-higher standards in house building.

“At NHBC we believe that the calibre of the site manager and the way they inspire their site team has the greatest influence on the quality of the finished home. By promoting friendly rivalry, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence, Pride in the Job supports the delivery of homes of the highest quality.

“Congratulations to all the Pride in the Job 2022 Quality Award winners. They are an inspiration to us all and should be very proud of the quality of new homes they are creating.”
