Raising standards to protect homeowners
Supreme Winners 2007
- Large category - Jamie Bishop of Barratt West Midlands for his site at Edenside, Elwell Street, Wednesbury, West Midlands.
Jamie has worked in the building industry for 16 years and has been a housing site manager for the past two and half. He won his first ever Supreme Award for his outstanding management of Edenside, a site of more than 100 homes.
- Small to medium category - George Lattimer of JJ Lattimer for his site at Sheila Fell Close, Aspatria, Wigton, Cumbria.
In his 22 year career in the building industry, George has now won the overall UK Supreme Award a record seven times - the last time in 2004 - and is well known for his exacting standards and attention to detail on site.
- Multistorey category - Paul Robinson of Barratt East London for his site Elektron in Leamouth East London.
Paul, from Putney, has almost 20 years in the industry and puts his success down to effective pre-planning and communication skills.
NHBC's Chief Executive, Imtiaz Farookhi said: "With the industry's drive to meet a range of challenges, from the Government's ambitious volume targets, to the 2016 deadline for zero carbon homes, our Pride in the Job competition and its focus on delivering a quality end product for homeowners, has never been more important.
"For more than a quarter of a century Pride in the Job has recognised those site managers, who, through their uncompromising approach to site management, produce new homes which are built and finished to the highest possible standard.
"The site mangers who are selected for awards - right through from the 400 Quality Award winners to the overall Supreme Winners - exemplify the Pride in the Job standard. As well as creating beautifully finished homes that are a pleasure to live in, they are testament to the very high standards that can be achieved."
Pride in the Job rewards site managers who demonstrate the highest levels of professionalism in every aspect of their work on site, from their organisation of the site to the quality controls in place. As one of the most intense and celebrated competitions in the industry, Pride in the Job is famous for establishing its winners as the best in their field.
