A BARRATT Homes site manager in Hattersley has been recognised for his construction excellence after winning a prestigious Seal of Excellence award in the National Housebuilding Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job awards.
Sean O’Regan,38, originally from Middleton, has earned the esteemed accolade for the fifth time thanks to the exemplary standards he sets at his recently sold out Hillside Central development on Fields Farm Road.
Having won his ninth Pride in the Job quality award earlier in the year, the Seal of Excellence completes a fantastic year of personal achievements for Sean who is in his 21st year with the leading developer.
He said: “It’s great to be rewarded with the recognition for the work I do as a site manager. I couldn’t do it without the fantastic team I have around me. I’d like to thank all my site team for their hard work, my contracts manager Jamie Thompson, and also Barratt Homes Manchester for their continued support.
“I’d also like to thank the NHBC for nominating me again, including my NHBC inspector Dean Dale, and inspection manager Mark Russell.”
While the Seal of Excellence is the highest industry accolade a site manager can achieve, Sean added the award has given his team even more drive to maintain the high standards set at Hillside Central.
Celebrating a 40th anniversary this year, the Pride in the Job awards – considered to be the ‘Oscars of the housebuilding industry’ – recognise the best run sites in the country.
Each site manager is judged on a range of key criteria including health and safety, their technical knowledge, customer service and attention to detail.
Neil Goodwin, managing director at Barratt Homes Manchester, said: “We’re thrilled for Sean following his Seal of Excellence recognition and the award is a credit to his hard work at Hillside Central.
“At Barratt Homes, we pride ourselves on our high standards of housebuilding but this applies to our staff as well, who we work with very closely.
“By employing excellent team players, we can ensure that our trademark high quality is maintained across all of our sites and Sean is certainly no exception here.”
Hillside Central is sold out, however, its sister site Hillside West is coming soon.
