Miller Homes Awarded For Quality On Site

Quality runs in the family at Miller Homes as four of its North East site managers, including two brothers, receive Quality Awards in the 2014 NHBC Pride in the Job Awards.

Brothers Mark and Simon Robson, Paul Ritchie and George Herron have all had their work recognised by the national awards, which now in their 33rd year recognise the UK’s best site managers.

Miller Homes has once again demonstrated that it is one of the industry’s top performers, whilst proving its commitment to excellence as nationally it achieved 20 Quality Awards.

This year’s awards celebrated the work of George Herron, site manager at Park View in Gateshead; Paul Ritchie, site manager at Wheatfields in Seaton Delaval; Mark Robson, site manager at St Mary’s Green in Acklam and Simon Robson, site manager at The Meadows in Framwellgate Moor, Durham.

Chris Endsor, chief executive of Miller Homes, said: “We are delighted to have achieved another set of great results, and it was particularly pleasing to see that our winners comprised a combination of new sites launched in the last year, such as Wheatfields in Seaton Delaval, as well as some of our more established sites.

“Building homes safely and to the highest quality is our number one priority, and we work hard to ensure that we are continually raising our standards. To have this hard work recognised yet again is tremendous, and we are extremely proud of all of our winning site managers.

“We perform consistently well in these awards, and I have no doubt that this trend will continue for many years into the future.”

Dedicated to recognising and rewarding outstanding site managers, NHBC’s Pride in the Job Awards are the UK housebuilding industry’s most prestigious honours.

Site managers are judged on a number of criteria including consistency of high standards, leadership, technical expertise, interpretation, health and safety and ‘the X factor’ – something special which sets the site manager apart.

Mike Quinton, chief executive of NHBC, said: “For nearly 35 years, Pride in the Job has been a fundamental component of NHBC’s work to raise standards through the celebration and sharing of best practice. Our winners are at the forefront of the house-building recovery, making sure that quality is maintained and improved year on year, as they raise the bar for success in the competition.”

Winners of a Quality Award are given the opportunity to compete for a more coveted NHBC Seal of Excellence Award later this month.
