Four of Redrow’s site managers in South Wales have been recognised as some of the best in the UK after winning a top housing industry award.

Edward Piggford, Elliot Kingdon, Matthew Coyle and Nick Powell are celebrating having each received a Pride in the Job 2024 Quality Award from NHBC, the UK’s largest provider of new home warranties and insurance.

Now in its 44th year, the award is widely considered the ‘Oscars’ of the house-building industry. Judging is rigorous, with assessment across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety. Thousands of inspections, with meticulous scoring and detailed verifications, have taken place to determine the 449 winners from a field of more than 8,000 sites, representing the top 5% of UK site managers.

Tim Sexton, Construction Director for Redrow in South Wales, said:

“From Churchlands in Cardiff to Parc y Coleg in Caerleon, we have eight developments in South Wales that offer high quality new build homes that are designed for modern living.

“The key to our success if the many talented people working in every department across the business who are committed to excellence. Pride in the Job has become the benchmark for exceptional site managers so we are delighted to see four of our site managers being recognised with this top housing industry award.”

Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC, said:

“For more than four decades, Pride in the Job has underpinned NHBC’s purpose of raising standards in house building. The competition recognises the UK’s top site managers, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence.

“Winning site managers demonstrate dedication, passion and leadership to ensure new homes are delivered to exacting construction quality standards. While house building is a team effort, we believe the greatest influence on the quality of a finished home is the calibre of the site manager and the way they inspire their team. Congratulations to all the winners.”

Pride in the Job has five categories: small, medium and large builders, plus multi-storey for projects up to seven storeys and high-rise for projects more than seven storeys.

The Quality Award winners will now go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2025.
