Pride in Job win for Penny Meadow site manager

BROMFORD Site Manager Pete Hamon has won a prestigious NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award for his work managing our fast-selling Penny Meadow development of homes for outright sale in Kidderminster.

It's the fourth year in a row that Pete has picked up some kind of Pride in the Job award while working for our in-house construction team, Bromford Developments Ltd (BDL). The first was a Quality Award for the site at Cleobury Mortimer, second was a Seal of Excellence for the scheme at Wrockwardine Wood, and then last year he was voted a regional winner for his work at Priorsleap, Telford.

Once again, Pete beat off intense competition from a field of 13,000 UK site managers to become one of only 450 first-round winners this year − and is now shortlisted by the National House Building Council (NHBC) for a possible Seal of Excellence and regional title.

The Penny Meadow site, off Bewdley Hill, will now sport special NHBC flags and display boards highlighting Pete's success in building high-quality houses for homebuyers and their families.

Pete (pictured above) said: "It means a lot to be marked out as a top performer by a highly-regarded body like the NHBC in a sector where high standards of work matter so much. Working here at Penny Meadow has brought its own special challenges but the team have responded in true Bromford style and we are all really delighted with what we have created here − top-quality houses that we're really proud of and that the buyers can be proud of too."

His latest accolade earned warm praise from BDL Construction Director Malcolm Lowbridge and from Bev Hall, Sales and Marketing Director of Bromford Homes.

Malcolm said: "Pride in the Job Quality Awards acknowledge site managers like Pete for showing the utmost care, professionalism and attention to detail in their work − and Pete is a real examplar of all these great qualities. We're all really proud of him and his fantastic contribution to the success of Penny Meadow and every site that he works on."

 
Bev agreed, saying: "This award means Penny Meadow (pictured above) buyers now have an extra guarantee assuring them about the quality of their Bromford homes. Pete did an excellent job at our first outright sale development − Priorsleap in Telford − and we're delighted that he's brought the same special X-factor to managing the site here at Kidderminster.

"Pete's attention to detail is evident everywhere on the site and he's an absolute pleasure to deal with. Under his direction, BDL have done it again. These are top-quality homes from top to bottom and buyers think so too. This is reflected in the fact that we've quickly passed the '75% sold' milestone, leaving just four four-bed houses for sale and feel confident that they will be snapped up too as Pete and his team head for a final completion date in August."

The last words go to Isabel Hudson, Executive Chairman of the NHBC, the UK's leading warranty and insurance provider and standards setter for new-build homes.

"A Pride in the Job Award marks out recipients as top performers, showing their true diligence and commitment to producing the best-quality homes possible," she says. "By recognising exceptional site managers, NHBC promotes best practice in house building, bettering the construction quality of new homes year on year for homeowners and their families."

All new Bromford homes come with a 10-year warranty and insurance cover issued by the NHBC. Called Buildmark, the warranty comes into force as soon as buyers exchange contracts and gives you peace of mind from the moment you move in.
