Barratt site manager wins Pride in the Job Quality Award
He received a Pride in the Job Quality Award from the National House Building Council (NHBC), an honour considered one of the highest in the homebuilding industry.
Nick Jones, site manager at Barratt David Wilson Homes South Wales, said: "I'm honoured to have received this award and to be part of a company that puts quality and excellence at the heart of everything we do.
"This achievement is a reflection of the hard work and dedication that goes into building high-quality homes and I'm grateful to the rest of the team that delivered Brunel Quarter alongside me."
The award scheme, often described as the 'Oscars' of the housebuilding sector, judges site managers on technical expertise, health and safety, leadership, and attention to detail.
It highlights the importance of site managers in delivering homes that are completed on time, safely, and to the highest quality standards.
David Kelland, operations director at Barratt David Wilson Homes South Wales, said: "These awards showcase what it takes to be a top site manager and demonstrates our long-term commitment to looking after our customers.
"Anyone who buys a home from a site with a Pride in the Job Quality Award winner knows their home has been built to the highest standard.
"We are very proud to have won more of these awards than any other homebuilder for 21 years in a row now."
Out of around 8,200 eligible sites, only 450 site managers are selected for the award—representing the top five per cent in the UK.
Barratt site managers secured 115 Pride in the Job Quality Awards in 2025.

Hamilton housing development scoops industry awards
Cala's Darroch showhome at Cornhill Village was recognised at the Scottish home awards A Hamilton housing development has been recognised at this year's Scottish home awards, while its project manager has earned a prestigious honour from the National Home Building Council (NHBC). Cala Homes, who are constructing 26 properties at Cornhill Village off Strathaven Road, took home the showhome of the year title from the 18th annual Scottish home awards in Glasgow for their five-bedroomed Darroch house type. It features the housebuilder's 'showhome of support' initiative by showcasing products by 10 local suppliers; while the property has been designed by Alison Harding of amw Designs, inspired by nature and the development's green surroundings and using influences including Japanese and Scandinavian design, and neutral aesthetics. Judges were impressed by the Darroch's 'high specification and finish, flexibility and sustainability features' as the Cala property triumphed in a keenly-contested category with 16 finalists. Cala began sales of their Cornhill development last October with its three showhomes opening in February, in what is the company's first development in Hamilton since constructing the nearby Wellshaw Grange development nearly a decade ago. Project manager Jordan Hughes made it a double award success as he earned a pride in the job quality award from the NHBC, meaning he will now go on to this autumn's seal of excellence and regional awards, with winners then going forward to a national ceremony in January. Jordan said: 'This recognition means a lot. It reflects the high standards I set every day but more importantly, reflects the team culture we've built on site: one that takes ownership, solves problems fast, and never compromises on the quality of the homes we deliver. 'This is what it looks like when a team believes in the product, the process, and each other. The whole team is on cloud nine about the recent award wins.' Cala Homes (West) managing director Ian Conway said: 'Since launching our latest Hamilton development we have received spectacular feedback, so it is a great honour to be awarded showhome of the year and to witness Jordan and the team being recognised, as they have helped make this site possible. 'Pride in the Job is a highly-regarded accolade which is testament to the hard work Jordan and the team carry out day-to-day, ensuring our site and its teams including our sub-contractor partners achieve the highest standards for our customers and communities. 'Congratulations are very well deserved.' Hamilton's community growth area. * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire. Sign up to our newsletters here. Article continues below
