Barratt site manager at Chichester development recognised as best in the country

Alongside the good news that Barratt and David Wilson Homes is back building and selling homes across the region, three site managers have won a top national award for quality from the National House Building Council (NHBC) – including one at Madgwick Park in Chichester.

Leading housebuilder, Barratt and David Wilson Homes, beat their peers to win nearly 100 prestigious NHBC Pride in the Job Quality award, considered to be the “Oscars of the house-building industry” – almost twice as many as their nearest rival and the second highest total yet.

Among their highly esteemed colleagues was Matt Annalls, site manager at the David Wilson Homes Madgwick Park development in Chichester, as well as two other individuals working across the region’s sites in Emsworth and Bordon.

Now in their 40th year the Pride in the Job Quality awards recognise the very best site managers from around the country. In total Barratt site managers won 92 Pride in the Job Quality awards this year, more than every other housebuilder. Barratt has now won more Pride in the Jobs Quality awards for 16 years in a row, a record unmatched in the industry which shows its commitment to building homes of the highest quality.

Each site manager is judged on a range of key criteria including health and safety, their technical knowledge, customer service and attention to detail. Pride in the Job is the most highly regarded competition in the housebuilding industry with just 450 individual winners being chosen from over 11,000 entrants.

Jon Green, managing director from Barratt Southampton said: “Now that we are back building and selling homes again, it is great to see that our site managers are rated as amongst the very best in the country for the high quality of the homes they deliver. It is now more important than ever that customers have confidence in the homes they are buying, and the mark of a Pride in the Job Quality award shows that their home has been built to the highest of standards. We are very proud to have won more of these quality awards than any other housebuilder for 16 years in a row.”
