Site Manager Wins 'Pride' Award

A site manager praised for his commitment to "building houses of outstanding quality" has scooped a construction accolade in the NHBC Pride In The Job Awards.

John Sutherland, of Huntly-based Deveron Construction Limited will accept his prize in Glasgow in October, and hope to win further "seal of excellence" and "regional" awards.

The awards scheme's website states: "Pride in the Job winners always have one thing in common - meticulous and consistent attention to detail. To win, they must score highly for the quality of workmanship on their site at every stage of the build. They must also demonstrate excellent leadership, technical expertise, robust health and safety processes and a certain 'X' factor!"
