A site manager working with Barratt Homes on the Isle of Wight has won a top national award for the quality of the homes he is building.
James Cleary, site manager at the housebuilder’s St George’s Gate development in Newport, has won a National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in The Job Quality award, which credits him as the best in the UK.
Known as the ‘Oscars of the housebuilding industry’, these prestigious awards recognise the finest site managers from around the country.
In total, Barratt site managers in the region have won 4 Pride in the Job Quality awards this year. This is the 17th year in a row that Barratt has won more Pride in the Job Quality awards than any other housebuilder, showing its long-term commitment to building high quality homes.
These awards, now in their 41st year, 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.
Every site manager who is registered with the NHBC is automatically entered into the awards, with just 450 winners being selected from 11,000 entrants, showing how difficult they are to win.
Mark Keen, Barratt and David Wilson Homes Construction Director, said:
“Winning these awards is not only a great achievement for our award-winning site managers, but also for their wider teams and all of the sub-contractors involved, as well as the business as a whole.

James is over the moon to have received this prestigious award and says it’s down to having a dedicated team. He said:
“It’s such an amazing feeling to get recognised for all of the hard work and dedication that the whole team has put in. The buzz on site now is incredible!”
Meaningless award from a privately run company. No links to the government apart from envelopes.
A tough year for a large building company. Yeah right. Try telling that to all the small builders and one man units that are losing work because of high price increases and material shortages.
I don’t see the likes of barratts going without cement, timber or plastic goods.
Probably a complete waste of my time on this message as it won’t get posted.
Im stunned this got posted. Every time I make similar comments about this company it either never gets posted, or shortly afterwards deleted.
Like you I’m stunned, as my comments like yours don’t get posted when I mention the hutch kings.
I’m just worried about the small guys who are suffering while the big boys get first dibs on all materials and at lower prices.
I like that I’ve got thumbs down for speaking the truth, it does make me chuckle.
