Winners from sites across Miller Homes' nine regions, included managers from the North West, Scotland, Yorkshire, the West Midlands and the South.

Sue Warwick, national sales and marketing director, said: "This is fantastic news for us. These awards are synonymous in the industry with build quality on developments, so we are extremely proud of all of our site managers that have received this prestigious accolade.

"We hope that our success in this year’s role of honour will send out a clear message to customers that buying a Miller home guarantees them a quality home. Potential home buyers should be heartened by awards such as these."
