LOCAL DEVELOPER TAKES HOME TOP NATIONAL AWARD FOR QUALITY HOUSEBUILDING

A site manager at local housebuilder Barratt David Wilson Homes’ Clipstone Park development in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire has been named as one of the best in the country for quality at the prestigious Pride in the Job Quality awards.

Luke Hammocks (28) has been recognised for the second time by the National House Building Council (NHBC) in their annual Pride in the Job Quality awards. Known as the “Oscars of the Housebuilding Industry”, the awards recognise and reward the best run building sites in the country, and are the highest accolade a site manager can achieve. In addition to spot checks from the NHBC, site managers are judged on their consistency, attention to detail, leadership, technical expertise, and health and safety.

Luke comments: “To be recognised by the NHBC for a second year in a row means a great deal to me and is a reflection of the hard work of the whole team at Clipstone Park. It demonstrates our commitment to delivering high quality new homes for our customers. We take real pride in our work and it feels great to be recognised for it – particularly after such a challenging year.”

This year saw over 10,000 entrants for the awards, with just 450 individual winners being chosen. In total, 93 site managers from Barratt David Wilson Homes won a Pride in the Job Quality award, more than any other housebuilder, demonstrating David Wilson Homes’ commitment to delivering high quality homes. This year has seen Barratt Developments win more Pride in the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder for the 17thyear in a row.

Karly Williams, Sales and Marketing Director for Barratt David Wilson North Thames, added: “We’re so proud of Luke and the team at Clipstone Park for all of their hard work to ensure our homes are delivered to the highest possible standard. The Pride in the Job Quality Award is the greatest accolade you can achieve as a site manager, so to win this award for a second year is a brilliant achievement and very well deserved.”
