Bellway site manager at Stevenage development wins prestigious award
The site manager at Bellway’s Forster Park development in Stevenage has been recognised for the high quality of his work with a prestigious national award.
Pat Clarke, 54, from Luton, won a Quality Award this year in the National House Building Council’s (NHBC) annual Pride in the Job competition and is one of just 449 site managers from across the UK to receive the accolade. Ten per cent of the winners were Bellway site managers.
Pat was selected from a pool of more than 8,000 site managers whose sites have been inspected by the NHBC over the past year, placing him among an elite group within the industry.
As a Quality Award winner, Pat is automatically entered into the next stage of the competition – the NHBC’s Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards, which will be awarded later in the year.
Pat received the award in recognition of his work at Bellway’s Old Royal Chace development in Enfield, where he was in charge before moving to Forster Park at the start of this month (September).
The NHBC runs the Pride in the Job awards annually and every site registered with them is automatically entered into the competition. Each site manager is judged on a wide range of aspects of their work including attention to detail, leadership, technical expertise and health and safety.
This is the second Pride in the Job award that Pat has won. He has worked in the construction industry since starting out as an apprentice carpenter at the age of 17 and has been with Bellway for 25 years.
He said: “Winning a Pride in the Job award is a great accolade - not just for me, but also for the Old Royal Chace team too.
“We have a great team with everybody working together, we are well connected and have a great working relationship with all our subcontractors. Our ultimate goal is to build good quality homes we are proud of for all our customers and we want them to feel happy with their new Bellway home.”
Dave Clark, Construction Director for Bellway North London, said: “The Pride in the Job Quality Awards are rightly held in high regard nationally as everyone in the industry knows just how hard it is to win this accolade.
“The judging is incredibly rigorous, which means that the award is testament not only to the quality of the homes at Old Royal Chace in Enfield, but also the high standards that customers can expect at Forster Park.
“I would like to congratulate Pat and every member of the fabulous site team for their achievement and wish them all the best for the next stage of the competition in the autumn.”
