Celebrating 11 Pride in the Job quality awards

Miller Homes is taking pride in its achievements after 11 of its site managers received Quality Awards in the NHBC’s Pride in the Job Awards 2022.

The annual awards recognise the commitment and dedication of development site managers in attaining consistently high standards in the delivery of new homes. They are among the most prestigious awards for site managers in the housebuilding industry. This year’s approximately 8,000 candidates from across the UK were assessed across six key areas for up to 12 months against the NHBC’s stringent standards.

The winners represent the top 5% of those who entered the competition, celebrating the vital role they play in ensuring new homes are delivered on time, on safe sites and to exacting construction standards.

Stewart Lynes, Chief Executive Officer at Miller Homes, commented: “It is a tremendous accolade to achieve a Quality Award and we are extremely proud of our site managers who have been recognised this year for continuing to demonstrate their commitment, dedication and passion to building new homes safely and to the very highest standards. 

“It is also recognised by our award-winning site managers that achieving a Quality Award is a team effort and everyone who has contributed to this success on a day-to-day basis, including our site teams, supply chain partners and professional teams, should also be very proud of what has been accomplished thanks to their invaluable support.”

Commenting on the Awards, NHBC Chief Executive Steve Wood said: “For more than 40 years, Pride in the Job has been an important part of our work to help drive construction quality. Winning site managers tell us that it inspires them to give a little extra and to strive harder for ever-higher standards in house building.

“At NHBC we believe that the calibre of the site manager and the way they inspire their site team has the greatest influence on the quality of the finished home. By promoting friendly rivalry, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence, Pride in the Job supports the delivery of homes of the highest quality.

“Congratulations to all the Pride in the Job 2022 Quality Award winners. They are an inspiration to us all and should be very proud of the quality of new homes they are creating.”

The next round of the competition will take place in the autumn, when all the Quality Award winners have the opportunity to win a Seal of Excellence, as well as competing for the regional title in their respective areas.  The regional winners will then go on to compete for the national Supreme Award in their categories at the Pride in the Job Gala Dinner in London.
