Barratt Redrow site managers have won 115 Pride in the Job Quality Awards this year, more than any other homebuilder for the 21st year in a row. This achievement highlights how important building high-quality, sustainable homes for its customers is to Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland

The awards rate site managers against key criteria such as technical expertise, health and safety, consistency, leadership and attention to detail. The awards celebrate the vital role site managers play in ensuring new homes are delivered on-time, on safe sites, and to the highest quality standards.

Alison Condie, Regional Managing Director for Barratt and David Wilson Homes Scotland, said: "These awards showcase what it takes to be a top site manager and demonstrate our long-term commitment to building some of the best quality homes in the country, reinforcing our dedication to excellence in construction and putting customers at the heart of everything we do. I'd like to congratulate our 11 site managers, each of them goes the extra mile to ensure our customers receive a superior home and service."

The awards closely follow Barratt Redrow being awarded 5 stars by its customers for satisfaction in the annual Home Builders Federation (HBF) new homes survey. To be rated as 5 star means that more than 90% of customers would recommend a home to a friend, with Barratt Redrow being the only major national homebuilder to be rated 5 star for 16 years in a row.
