Construction News Image
Seven site managers with Taylor Wimpey have each been awarded a prestigious national housebuilding award – one of its best regional performances in Scotland in this prestigious annual competition.

Taylor Wimpey West Scotland's NHBC (National House Building Council) Pride in the Job Quality Award winners are: Iain Alexander (Benthall Farm, East Kilbride), Dougie Kirkland (Newton Farm, Cambuslang); David McClure (Westfield Gate, Maidenhill); Colin Hurren (Hawkhead Gardens, Paisley); Scott McNulty (Princess Gate, Troon); Mark Brodie (Dargavel Village, Bishopton); and Scott McCreadie (Burnside View, Coatbridge).

Each of these site managers progresses to the Scottish regional awards final later this year to find out who is the best of the best in Scotland.

For over 40 years, Pride in the Job Quality Awards have been highly regarded in the house-building industry. Awards are presented following a rigorous judging process by NHBC inspectors and the recognition these seven site managers have achieved gives homebuyers the assurance that the homes in these locations are of the highest quality.
