Zoe’s Pride in winning fourth NHBC award
FOR the fourth consecutive year, David Wilson Homes is celebrating after Derbyshire senior site manager Zoe Stothard won a national award from the National House Building Council (NHBC).
Zoe received a Pride in the Job Quality award from the NHBC for overseeing the construction at David Wilson’s development in Mickleover.
She said: “Having been on site in Mickleover since the beginning of the development, it’s nice to look back and see how much it’s progressed as a community with established landscaping.
“I’d like to thank my site team for their continued hard work.”
Known as the ‘Oscars’ of the housebuilding industry, the Pride in the Job Quality Awards recognise the best run building sites in the country and are the highest accolade a site manager can achieve.
In celebration of Zoe’s award, leading developer David Wilson Homes East Midlands is
encouraging more women to consider careers in the construction industry, with a variety of roles available across Derbyshire.
Zoe added: “For women looking to join the construction industry I would advise them to treat everybody on site as they would expect to be treated. This is a tough job regardless of gender so they should be prepared to work hard.”
Zoe – who also won an award within her East Midlands division – first joined the housebuilder 15 years ago as an assistant site manager and has worked her way up to being a senior site manager.
John Reddington, managing director at David Wilson Homes East Midlands, said: “It’s fantastic to see that Zoe has been rated amongst the very best site managers in the country once again.”
