Local Barratt Developments’ site managers recognised as best in the country

Nine local site managers from Barratt Developments Yorkshire East and Yorkshire West have received top national awards for quality from the National House Building Council (NHBC).

Senior Site Managers, Paul Dearnley and Neil Pendlebury alongside Site Managers, Mark Greenley, Andy Briddock, Jay Kerman, Josh Corker, Alan Dunn, James Swann and Darren Thornton, who manage developments across York, Leeds, Hull, Barnsley, Doncaster, Wakefield and Worksop, have each won a prestigious NHBC Pride in the Job Quality award, considered to be the “Oscars of the housebuilding industry”.

Now in its 40th year the Pride in the Job Quality awards recognises the very best site managers from around the country. In total, Barratt Developments Yorkshire East and Yorkshire West site managers won nine Pride in the Job Quality awards this year, and 92 nationally, more than any 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.

Daniel Smith, Managing Director at Barratt Developments Yorkshire East, 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.

Ian Ruthven, Managing Director at Barratt Developments Yorkshire West, said: “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.”
