NHBC awards Countryside Properties’ Site Manager for ‘Pride in the Job’ in Heywood

26.07.2011

Steve Downie, Site Manager at Countryside Properties’ Copper Wells development in Heywood, has been awarded the NHBC ‘Pride in the Job’ Quality Award 2011, an accolade reserved for the UK’s best new-build site managers.

The annual Pride in the Job awards scheme acknowledges the significant contributions of site managers to new build construction, and sees Steve receive the honour for his management of Copper Wells, a collection of traditionally built two, three and four bedroom homes in Heywood.

Standards-setting body for new-build homes, the National House-Building Council (NHBC), recently announced the first round of winning site managers for its annual Pride in the Job Awards, each recognised for their dedication to building outstanding quality new-build homes.

Shortlisted from over 13,000 site managers across the country, Steve joins just over 400 other award recipients across the UK, 41 of which are based in the North West. Each winner will now be invited to a regional awards ceremony in September, for the chance to win a Seal of Excellence Award and the coveted NHBC Regional Award.

An impressive collection of detached and semi-detached family houses situated in the heart of Heywood, Copper Wells is now two years into its development. The scheme has been a huge success with local people and buyers from across the region; attracted by its great specification and affordable prices.

Andy Dwyer, Construction Director for Countryside Properties Northern, commented, “From the moment we start on site, Countryside Properties is committed to delivering high quality new-build homes, each to an outstanding quality. Our site managers are integral to overseeing every component of the construction process, whilst also ensuring the smooth running of the site and making certain Health and Safety is maintained. I would like to congratulate Steve for this well-deserved award, which recognises a very high standard, of which we as a house builder are proud.”
