Tony Armson, a site manager for Loughborough-based house builder
William Davis Homes, has won a Regional NHBC (National House
Building Council) Pride in the Job award for his work at the
company's Cawston Chase private housing scheme in Rugby.
Pride in the Job is the only awards scheme to reward site
managers for their contribution towards the house building process
and is now in its 31st year. Having already won both a Quality
Award and a Seal of Excellence this year, Tony was invited to the
ICC in Birmingham for the announcement of the West Regional Award
winners where he won in the medium builder category*.
Over 13,000 site managers are judged across 38 different
criteria, with a particular emphasis on consistency, leadership,
technical expertise and Health & Safety. Tony was judged to
have excelled in all these, with the panel commenting on his true
passion for building high quality homes. As a result of this latest
accolade, Tony will go forward to the National Supreme Awards,
where he hopes to successfully defend his title for the fourth
consecutive year.
Peter Watton, West of England regional director, NHBC said:
"Pride in the Job has been instrumental in raising the build
quality of new homes in the UK for over three decades, with house
builders now routinely striving for perfection in their work. A
Pride in the Job award at any level marks the recipient out as a
top performer, showing their true diligence and commitment to
producing the best quality homes possible, but to win a Regional
title demonstrates something just that little bit special."
Mark Stevenson, production director, William Davis added:
"Tony's achievements at the Pride in the Job Awards are
exceptional. To continually succeed year on year against steepening
competition demonstrates that quality craftsmanship does not have
to be compromised and a William Davis home is built to the highest
standards. Everyone at the company wishes Tony the best of luck in
defending his title in January."
William Davis is building a range of homes at Cawston Chase,
Rugby to suit all lifestyles. For more information please call the
sales consultant, Wendy McGregor on 01788 817381.
* Tony won in the medium category, which recognises companies
that register between 51 and 1000 new homes with NHBC each
year.
