National award for top Andover site team

Construction workers at a new housing development in Andover are celebrating after receiving a national award for their outstanding work.

Persimmon Homes South Coast is building around 1,200 homes, substantial leisure facilities and a proposed adjacent urban park at The Paddocks, which forms part of Picket Twenty.

The builder’s site team has been chosen to receive a National Site Award in recognition of their work on the development.

Construction director Mark Killick said: “The Considerate Constructors Scheme’s annual National Site Awards are given to only the highest performing developments, which have been built in the previous year. The awards recognise a site’s exceptional standards of consideration towards local neighbourhoods and the general public, the workforce and the environment.

“We have always known that we had an incredible team at Picket Twenty and this award confirms it. We are very proud of the work site manager Paul Ballard and his team are doing there.

“I am particularly delighted because Picket Twenty has been a very busy site and Paul has dealt with numerous challenges along the way in a professional and productive manner, which has helped towards this award being given.”

One and two-bedroom apartments are being built at The Paddocks as well as one , two, three, four and five-bedroom homes. The development combines contemporary homes with leisure and retail facilities.

Mark added: “The Paddocks is one of our most popular developments, forming part of a fantastic new community at Picket Twenty.

“The homes are appealing to a wide cross-section of buyers from first-time to growing families, professional couples and downsizers. We know we are creating a great community there and this award really is the icing on the cake.”
