Bolton site manager wins national award

The site manager at a George Wimpey development in Bolton has had his work at the site recognised in a national awards scheme.

Steve Goulden, site manager at George Wimpey Manchester’s Millgate development off Crescent Road, has won a Quality Award from the NHBC (National House Building Council) in its Pride in the Job awards scheme.

There were more than 18,000 contenders for the Pride in the Job awards this year. Steve is one of just 400 to receive a Quality Award and he now qualifies for the next heat in Autumn where entrants will battle it out to earn an NHBC Seal of Excellence award.

Winning a Pride in the Job award involves a huge amount of commitment and hard work. Judging is based on 38 different elements of site management, from technical knowledge, consistency in the build process to excellent leadership and organisational skills.

George Wimpey Manchester managing director Bob Picktall has congratulated Steve on his efforts.

He said: “Only site managers who demonstrate exceptional standards in every area of their work on site and the homes they build are considered for a Pride in the Job award, so we are immensely proud of the recognition Steve has achieved.

“Customers at Millgate will be interested to hear of Steve’s success too. The fact that new homes at the development are overseen by a winning site manager is big plus.”

Millgate is located just outside Bolton town centre within easy reach of the town’s wide selection of High Street stores, shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. There is a selection of two bedroom apartments and three and four bedroom, three storey townhouses. Prices start from just £79,995.
