Hayden Dolby, Managing Director of Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said: "We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of quality and customer service, and this recognition has ensured that we continue to be an NHBC award-winning housebuilder year after year.

I have worked for Taylor Wimpey for 5 years and it feels amazing to be recognised by NHBC for producing high-quality new homes. This is a true reflection of the whole team at Varsity Grange and our commitment to building homes in places where people want to live."  

Commenting on this year's win, Brian Clarke said: "I'm over the moon to have won a Pride in Job Quality award. It's a fantastic honour not just for me, but for the whole team at Kingsbrook Place who worked so hard to provide these award winning homes."
