The Ballumbie Rise development in Dundee and The Stables development in Cheshire, North-west England, received the awards for consistently high standards of customer care. Site managers Barry Kane and Dave Whitley were commended for their leadership, construction quality and successful delivery of high-quality homes.

Under the management of Barry Kane, Ballumbie Rise is located within an established Dundee suburb and boasts fantastic transport links with the city. It was recently awarded its first internal development award for high-level care and customer service quality, and since its launch, both the NHBC and In-house survey scores for customer satisfaction have been at 100%.

Meanwhile, at the multi award-winning Stables development in Cheshire, site manager Dave Whitley is celebrating his sixth consecutive Pride in the Job award, testimony to his commitment and drive to achieve the highest standards of home building, through best practice and excellence.

Gerry More, group managing director at Stewart Milne Group, said: “To receive two Pride in the Job quality awards is a fantastic achievement, especially coming off the back of a tough two years for the construction industry. These awards honour the highest quality workmanship and construction quality. Congratulations to Barry and Dave on these worthy wins.”

NHBC’s Pride in the Job Awards have played an important part in the housebuilding industry for the past 40 years, rewarding site managers and their commitment to excellence. The competition covers England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man and includes house-building businesses of all sizes: small, medium and large, with a separate category for multi-storey construction.

NHBC chief executive Steve Wood, added: “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 of 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 2022 Pride in the Job Quality Award winners. They are an inspiration to us all and should be very proud of the quality of new homes they are creating.”
