Redrow employee proves real champion

Huw Williams was one of 12 Redrow site managers chosen from 18,000 entrants to pick up a prestigious National House-Building Council (NHBC) ‘Pride in the Job’ Quality award, in recognition of their site management skills in helping to create quality-built, attractive new homes.

Huw, who earned the award for his work at Redrow’s Crescent Vale development in Crumpsall, Manchester, says: “I’m very proud to receive this award. It is very satisfying when all your hard work and dedication is recognised and acknowledged. Also, this award not only represents my hard work, but the dedication of all the site team collectively.”

The Pride in the Job awards were set up in 1980 by the NHBC to reward the UK’s best site managers for building high quality homes and gives buyers a reassurance that they can expect top class homes.

Huw, who lives in Roundhay, Leeds, was one of 400 award-winners picked from over 18,000 site managers nationwide who are automatically registered into the awards for demonstrating consistently good working practices, high quality management skills, and great motivational skills.

Huw will now go forward to compete for a Seal of Excellence, which is presented to only 100 site managers. He will learn whether he has been successful at a special lunch on November 9th at The Palace Hotel in Manchester.

Keith Collard, construction director for Redrow Homes (Lancashire) says: “For one of our employees to win such an influential award is proof that Redrow only hires the best staff. It is also well earned recognition of Huw’s hard work, his ability to do his job to the highest standard and the responsibilities that come with it.”

Huw, who has worked for Redrow for six years, collected his award for his work at the Crescent Vale development of two, three and four-bedroom detached and terrace homes, in Crumpsall. Those properties are now all sold but Redrow is building a range of contemporary apartments alongside. .

Redrow Homes (Lancashire) is part of Redrow plc, which builds around 5,000 new homes each year in England, Scotland and Wales. As well as the Crescent Vale scheme, Redrow has recently completed city centre apartments at Vie, in Castlefield, and is also renovating a former bleachworks in Horwich.
