On Friday November 11, 250 leading figures from the house building industry here gathered at NHBC’s 36th Pride in the Job Regional Awards ceremony held at the Culloden Estate, Belfast.
Regional award winners Alan Lynas from Porter & Co (medium category) and Stephen Austin from Dunlop Homes Ltd (small category), were selected from more than 16,000 UK site managers in recognition of their contribution to the provision of high quality new homes. A further five site managers from the region were awarded Seals of Excellence. The Regional award winners will now go on to compete for the Supreme Awards to be announced in January 2017.
Known as ‘the Oscars of the House Building Industry’, winning an award is an exceptional achievement and for 36 years NHBC, the UK’s leading new home warranty provider, has been rewarding the best site managers in the UK delivering the high quality homes the country needs.
David Little, NHBC director, congratulated the winners saying:
“Pride in the Job is now firmly established as a significant proof of distinction for the best site managers in the UK. The fact that winners are automatically entered into the competition based on the results of their work onsite is a huge endorsement for all winners. It’s been a tough year of judging starting way back in July 2015 and it’s a long hard road to win a Pride in the Job Award. The Awards recognise site managers who know how to go one stage better, whose hard work ensures we live in high quality homes and rewards dedication and expertise.
“Last year NHBC registered 3,223 new homes in Northern Ireland and site managers play an important role in delivering these. By recognising exceptional site managers like these, Pride in the Job promotes continuous improvement in the quality of new homes, year on year, for homeowners and their families to enjoy.”
