Three house building site managers were crowned winners in the Scotland finals of the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards 2018 at a ceremony held at The Hilton Glasgow last week.
Now in their 38th year, the awards organised by NHBC, the UK’s leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes, are the most highly regarded in the house-building industry. They recognise and reward a site manager’s dedication to achieving the highest standards in house building, and their commitment to building homes of outstanding quality.
Ian Welsh from CALA Homes (East) Limited was named Large Builder category winner for the Mayburn Park development in Straiton, Loanhead. Commenting on what he enjoys most about his job, Ian said, “I love working and driving my site team to achieve the consistent level of quality we have achieved resulting in our second Pride in the Job award for Mayburn Park.”
Stuart Gillespie from Mactaggart & Mickel Homes Ltd won the Medium Builder category for the Greenan Views development in Ayr. Stuart is no stranger to winning NHBC Pride in the Job awards having previously claimed the Supreme Winner title four times and has been awarded runner-up on a further two occasions.
Garry Henderson, also from Mactaggart & Mickel Homes Ltd was crowned the Multi-storey category winner for the Milverton Grange apartments in Giffnock. Starting his career as an electrician before moving into site management, this is Garry’s first Regional Award which he adds to the five Quality Awards he has won previously.
A further nine site managers across Scotland were awarded with a Seal of Excellence at the ceremony having gained a Quality Award in the first round of the competition in June:
- Fred Anderson from CALA Homes (North) Limited for Grandholme, Aberdeen

Commenting on all the winners, NHBC Director Scotland, Malcolm MacLeod said: “To reach this level of the competition means without question you are at the very top of the house-building industry. The winning site managers are all building homes to an exceptional standard and are worthy winners.
“At NHBC we believe that recognising the outstanding workmanship of the best UK site managers plays an important role in raising the quality of homes for the benefit of the people who will live in them”.
The Scotland winners will now go on to compete for the ultimate title in house building, Supreme Award Winners, to be unveiled at a gala ceremony in January 2019.
