- Barratt wins best large housebuilder award 2 years in a row
- Third time in 5 years Barratt wins top industry award
Barratt Developments has been named as Housebuilder magazine’s best large housebuilder for the second year in a row. This is now the third time that Barratt has won this award in five years, underlying its focus on putting customers at the heart of everything it does.
The Housebuilder awards recognise the best in housebuilding and with 2020 being such an unprecedented year due to Covid-19, to be named housebuilder of the year is a real achievement. Throughout this year Barratt has continued to look after its customers building high quality homes that the country needs, whilst also supporting local communities, charities and the NHS as much as possible.
The best large housebuilder award came on top of further success at the awards. Barratt also took home the award for best refurbishment project for The White Building. This iconic factory at the Chapel Gate development in Basingstoke had its Art Deco period features carefully preserved to restore the former medical building to its former glory, creating 96 beautiful apartments.
Barratt was also highly commended in the sustainable housebuilder of the year category. This year Barratt has underlined its commitment to become the country’s leading national sustainable housebuilder by setting ambitious new carbon reduction targets and taking an industry leading role in combating climate change.
Steven Boyes, chief operating officer at Barratt Developments plc, said: “To win the top award in the industry for the second year in a row is something we can be proud of. With so much happening in 2020 we have tried to keep focus on what we do best – delivering outstanding service to our customers and building high quality homes. We still have more to do though which is why we are setting ambitious new carbon reduction targets to help the environment.”
