NHBC award scoops for Persimmon site managers

Buying a new home is the single largest purchase you'll make in your lifetime so quality and attention to detail is a must. Fortunately house hunters across the West Midlands can be assured of exactly that thanks to the diligence and hard work of Wayne Berry, Adrian France, Darren Nuttall and Craig Thomas - site managers at Chenet Park in Cannock, Abrahams Way in Telford, Tame Village in Tamworth and Vivaldi Court in Shelfield, Walsall.

The team has scooped a much coveted Pride in the Job award from the National House Building Council (NHBC) - an award established to reward quality management and raise the standard of service to homebuyers.

Awards are judged externally by the NHBC from a total of 17,000 construction sites in the UK and the 'Pride in the Job' award is only given to the top 400 site managers, rewarding the top three per cent those who demonstrate an outstanding commitment to the highest quality workmanship.

For over a year, NHBC inspectors have made spot check visits at Chenet Park, Abrahams Way, Tame Village and Vivaldi Court, assessing the site manager's performance at key stages of the construction of all new homes, from foundations to the finished product, focusing on all the day-to-day workings of the development.

Mark Penn, Persimmon's regional construction director, said: "It's fantastic that the NHBC has commended the efforts of these four site managers - the highest number of awards we have received in one year.

"This award not only reflects the hard work they have all put in on site but gives our buyers added assurance that they are not only buying a superior, high quality home from us, but they can also be rest assured that excellent customer service exists in every part of the buying and moving in experience with Persimmon."

The foursome now go forward to the next stage of the competition - the Seal of Excellence - winners of which are to be announced in September.
