Award for Cambuslang housebuilder

A Cambuslang man has been honoured for his dedication to building homes of exceptional quality in the first round of the annual NHBC Pride in the Job Awards.

Dougie Kirkland of Taylor Wimpey West Scotland won the award for his management of the Newton Farm site.

Now in its 36th year – Pride in the Job celebrates the exceptional contribution site managers make in creating homes of outstanding quality.

Malcolm MacLeod, regional director for NHBC, the UK’s leading standards setter and warranty provider for new homes, said: “Congratulations to Dougie, who should be commended for building homes of an outstanding standard in the region.

“For 36 years, Pride in the Job Awards has played a pivotal role in NHBC’s work to raise standards across the industry through the celebration and sharing of best practice.

“Pride in the Job recognises site managers who produce the best quality new homes, built and finished to the highest possible standards. Most importantly, homeowners who buy a Pride in the Job award-winning home benefit from a high quality product.

“It’s no surprise that our data shows Pride in the Job winning sites have higher levels of customer satisfaction, as these homes are without doubt among the best the UK has to offer.

“On behalf of everyone at NHBC, I would like to congratulate Dougie on this fantastic achievement.”

As part of the year-long judging process, the Quality Award winners will now be shortlisted for Seals of Excellence and Regional titles which will be revealed in the autumn.

The Regional Winners will then go forward to contest the national Supreme Winner title in their category at the Pride in the Job Gala Final in London in January.
