It's always nice to receive praise for a job well done, but to receive an “Oscar” from a recognised national body adds that extra touch.

Redrow site managers Ian Winsor, now based in Farnborough as project manager, and Dan Smith, based in Thatcham, have been chosen from 18,000 entrants to pick up the prestigious National House-Building Council (NHBC) ‘Pride in the Job’ Quality award, in recognition of their creating quality, attractive new homes.

Ian, who earned the award for his work at apartment venture Porterhouse in Crawley, said: “I’m very proud to receive this award and it’s testament not only to my hard work but also that of my team in Crawley – the standards for the NHBC are very high so it’s a great honour to have been recognised for reaching them.”

Dan, site manager at Kennet Heath in Thatcham, added: “It’s great to be recognised for the work I’ve put in and it makes me very proud. I’m also very grateful to everyone on site who has helped make this possible.”

The Pride in the Job awards were set up in 1980 by the NHBC to reward the UK’s best site managers for building high quality homes and gives buyers a reassurance that they can expect top class homes.
