The manager of a Wigan borough housing development has received a prestigious industry award
A senior site manager at a housing development in Wigan borough has been rewarded for his dedication to building quality homes.
Ryan Brunt was announced as a winner of the National House Building Council’s (NHBC) Pride in the Job Quality Award.
He is working at Bellway’s Trilogy development on Mosley Common Road, Tyldesley, which offers two, three and four bedroom homes.
It is the second time he has won this award, having scooped both a Quality Award and Seal of Excellence previously.
Mr Brunt said: “It is a great achievement for the team and me here at Trilogy. There is a high level of expectation from the NHBC, so winning this award is testament to the hard work we deliver daily and a customer focus at all times.
“Trilogy is a very busy site with high levels of output, yet we have managed to consistently maintain good practices, which I am extremely proud of. Having won the award previously, this time posed differing challenges to achieve success due to the large numbers of houses we have had to deliver comparably, while remaining true to Bellway’s high standards with our Trilogy team.
"Of course, I am incredibly proud to have led this and am equally so pleased that we could deliver such outcome for our business. It’s a superb accolade and I’m thrilled to have received another Pride in the Job award.”
The awards are among the most highly-prized in the housebuilding industry, with 449 from 7,500 site managers inspected by the NHBC selected.
Judging is a rigorous process which encompasses every aspect of a site manager’s responsibilities, including consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety. Spot checks are also carried out on the day-to-day running of the site.
Successful site managers will now be judged in the next round of the competition – the Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards – which will be announced in the autumn.
Tom Chadwick, construction director for Bellway Manchester, said: “Ryan has been part of helping to create a culture in which our construction teams consistently build homes they would be proud to call their own. We hope their continued commitment to excellence will enable them to achieve even greater success in the next stage of the competition.”
