A site manager at Redrow’s Newton Abbot development, Stanbury Meadows, has won a regional title in the second round of the prestigious Pride in the Job Awards 2017 from the NHBC (National House Building Council).

Steve Damerell, age 48 from Plymouth, was honoured for his dedication to building homes of exceptional quality before an audience of 400 for the Stanbury Meadows site in Newton Abbot.

Steve is one of four to be recognised at the ceremony held at Sandy Park in Exeter and will now go on to compete for a Supreme Award to be announced at a gala ceremony in January 2018.

Steve commented: ‘Winning the regional title means a huge amount as it is recognition of not only the hard the work, but also the care the team here put into building homes at Stanbury Meadows.’

Steve, who has been site manager at Stanbury Meadows for 32 months, is no stranger to award wins having won the Pride In the Job Award seven times during his career: ‘These awards are a big boost to the team on site as it’s confirmation we’re putting in place the best practice in build quality and on-site processes – essentially that we’re at the top of our game.

‘That recognition is really rewarding for us, but is also good news for homebuyers as it confirms that the houses not only look great, but they’re built to an award-winning quality standard,’ concluded Steve.

Now in its 37th year, Pride in the Job, organised by NHBC, is the most highly regarded competition in the house-building industry dedicated to recognising site managers who achieve the highest standard in house building.

Commenting on the Awards, Nick Cunningham, NHBC Regional Director said:

‘Every year, the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards give us the chance to recognise the dedication of the UK top site managers and their commitment to new home quality.

‘Last year NHBC registered over 14,000 new homes in the South West. It is site managers like Steve who play an important role in delivering these, whilst pushing up the standards of new homes, through their persistence, passion and a commitment to build homes of the highest quality for their customers and we wish them all the success in the future.’
