A site manager working for Bellway’s Manchester division has been rewarded for their dedication to building quality homes for their customers.
Mike Morrison is currently the site manager at The Putting Green, Bellway’s development in Salford, which offers a range of two, three and four bedroom homes. It is the first time he has won this award.
A total of seven site managers from the division, which is based in Warrington, were announced as winners of the National House Building Council’s (NHBC) Pride in the Job Quality Awards.
The awards, which are now in their 45th year, are among the most highly-prized in the housebuilding industry, with only 449 from 7,500 site managers inspected by the NHBC selected for the honour.
Judging for the awards 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.
The successful site managers will now go on to be judged in the next round of the competition – the Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards – which will be announced in the autumn.
Commenting on his win, Mike says: “I am absolutely delighted to have won a Pride in the Job award. It’s been a goal I’ve been working to for several years and to finally achieve it means a great deal to me. It’s fantastic recognition for all the hard work, dedication and pride I take in my role as a senior site manager.”
Tom Chadwick, Construction Director for Bellway North West, said: “Huge congratulations to our successful site managers who have won Pride in the Job Quality Awards this year.
“They have all shown absolute dedication to meeting the rigorous standards required by the NHBC judges and have also inspired their site teams to share the Pride in the Job ethos, which is vital to achieve this award.
“As a company we have targeted the Pride in the Job Awards as part of our strategic focus on quality, with best practice and expertise shared across the business.
“Mike 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.”
