Seven site managers working for Taylor Wimpey across East Anglia have been named among the best in the country at an event dubbed the ‘Oscars’ of housebuilding.
The heptad scooped Pride in the Job 2025 Quality Awards from the National House Building Council (NHBC) in recognition of their dedication to high standards and best practice, placing them in the top 5% of site managers nationwide.
The seven winners are:
- David Tooley – Lantern Croft, Ely
- Shaun Taylor – Lark Grange, Bury St Edmunds
- Ben Brown – Stour View, Brantham
- Timothy Chandler – Brightwell Lakes, Martlesham Heath
- Alan Mills – Wolsey Grange, Ipswich
- Shane Janse Van Vurren – Heather Gardens, Norwich
- Lee More – The Alders, Wymondham
Judging for the awards saw an expert panel visit the seven sites across Suffolk, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire – with 8,200 sites nationwide whittled down to the final 450 winners.
Barry Pennock, Production Director at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, said the seven wins were ‘thoroughly deserved’.
He said: “We have always been committed to maintaining the highest standards of quality and customer service, and our continued recognition as an NHBC award-winning homebuilder reflects that dedication.
“This award is thoroughly deserved, and we’re incredibly proud of our site managers and the team across East Anglia.”
All seven will now be in the running for further awards hosted by the NHBC later this year, including regional awards and the Seal of Excellence, with the national Supreme Award winner also set to be unveiled in January.
Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC, added: “Congratulations to our site managers, who have demonstrated the dedication, passion and leadership skills necessary to deliver new homes to exacting construction quality standards.
“Thousands of outstanding site managers have made their mark on the industry in the 45 years Pride in the Job has been running.
“This continued focus on excellence is vital to support the government’s 1.5 million new homes target and to ensure that all housing is built to the quality owners and occupiers should expect.”
