Ystradgynlais housing site manager receives national award
Lee Lewis, who oversees the Maes Y Rhos housing development in Ystradgynlais, has won a Pride in the Job Quality Award from the National House Building Council (NHBC) for his work with Persimmon Homes.
He is one of 15 Persimmon site managers across the UK to receive the award this year.
Mr Lewis said: "It's a fantastic feeling to be recognised by the NHBC – and a huge credit to everyone on the team.
"At Maes Y Rhos, we take great pride in building homes to the highest standards, and in creating a community that residents will enjoy for years to come.
"This award is a great boost and reflects the care we bring to the job every day."
The Maes Y Rhos development features three to five-bedroom homes on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park, with strong transport links to Swansea and the wider region.
The NHBC's Pride in the Job competition is a well-regarded industry benchmark for site management excellence.
Winners of the Quality Award move forward to the Seal of Excellence stage, with the chance to compete for regional and national honours.
Stuart Phillips, managing director for Persimmon West Wales, said: "We're thrilled for Lee and the whole team at Maes Y Rhos.
"The quality of work they're delivering speaks for itself, and this recognition from the NHBC is thoroughly deserved.
"Lee's dedication and leadership are making a real difference on site and for our customers."
The national Pride in the Job Supreme Awards will take place in January 2026.
