Site manager Stuart Gillespie from Mactaggart & Mickel’s Greenan Views development at Doonfoot in Ayr has been recognised for demonstrating “an outstanding level of health and safety management”.

Stuart was awarded a top-scoring site in the Medium House Builder category, based on multiple inspection visits carried out by NHBC Health and Safety advisors over recent months.

The NHBC Health and Safety Awards are open to all NHBC registered builders. The Commended Sites shortlist forms the first stage of a three-round journey towards the National Site Manager of the Year awards.

Last year, Garry Henderson won the National ‘Best Site’ award in the multi-storey category for Milverton Grange in Giffnock, and Paul Starritt received a Highly Commended award for Kelso Gardens in Symington, a joint venture with West of Scotland Housing Association.

This year’s National Awards will be announced at the ICC in Birmingham on Friday 5 July.

Marion Forbes, director of Mactaggart & Mickel, said: “Health and safety within our construction sites is our top priority and we are delighted to receive this prestigious commendation in recognition of Stuart’s continued hard work and dedication. We are very proud that the quality of our homes is matched by the exemplary health and safety standards that we maintain across all our sites.”
