Murray’s award builds on success

A Coatbridge-based construction boss has scooped an accolade for excellence at an awards ceremony.

Murray Grierson, site manager of Barratt Homes’Parklands development, won the Seal of Excellence plaudit for his work at the NHBC Pride in the Job awards.

The trophy is awarded to managers who display exceptional levels of achievement in delivering high-quality homes in the UK.

The 48-year-old, a joiner to trade, was selected from more than 16,000 site managers and was one of just 11 to be recognised at the event.

Mr Grierson said:“There’s great satisfaction in receiving this award for the second time in my career and being part of a winning team.

“It’s gratifying because we had a relatively young team and I was able to nurture them throughout the project and bring them along.

“Barratt is really focused on developing its people and in addition to winning this award I was responsible for the development of a new trainee who has now graduated to become an assistant manager.”

David Scott, managing directorof Barratt Developments West Scotland, said:“Murray has been really focused on winning a quality award this year.

“He’s worked incredibly hard to achieve it and I’m delighted to see his efforts recognised.

“He leads a well motivated and organised team.”
