- 93 Barratt Site Managers win Pride in the Job Quality awards
- Barratt wins more Pride in the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder for 17 years in a row
This year 93 Site Managers from Barratt have won a prestigious Pride in the Job award for the quality of the homes they are building.
Known as the “Oscars of the housebuilding industry”, the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in The Job Quality awards recognise the finest Site Managers from around the country.
This is the 17th year in a row that Barratt has won more Pride in the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder, showing its long-term commitment to building high quality homes.
These awards, now in their 41st year, rate Site Managers against key criteria such as technical expertise, health and safety, consistency, leadership and attention to detail. The awards celebrate the vital role Site Managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on-time, on safe sites, and to the highest quality standards.
Every Site Manager who is registered with the NHBC is automatically entered into the awards, with just 450 winners being selected from 11,000 entrants, showing how difficult they are to win.
These awards come off the back of a Barratt Developments Site Manager being crowned the overall winner in last year’s awards. Kirk Raine, Senior Site Manager, won the supreme award, the fifth time in the last six years that a Barratt Site Manager has won the top prize.
Steven Boyes, Chief Operating Officer at Barratt Developments, said: “We are very proud to have won 93 Pride in the Job Quality awards this year, more than last year, and more than any other national housebuilder for 17 years in a row. By winning so many awards it demonstrates that we are building some of the highest quality homes in the country. It also shows the long-term commitment we have to looking after our customers and making them happy. Despite the ongoing challenge posed by coronavirus, we continue to set very high standards in design, construction and health and safety, and these awards recognise that and our teams who deliver it.”
There awards closely follow Barratt Developments being awarded 5 stars by its customers for satisfaction in the annual Home Builders Federation (HBF) new homes survey. To be rated 5 star means that more than 90% of its customers would recommend one of its homes to a friend, with Barratt being the only major national housebuilder to be rated 5 star for 12 years in a row.
