A project manager from Bellway London has won a national award for overseeing the construction of high-quality new homes in Greenwich.
Jason Spink has been named as a recipient of this year’s Pride in the Job Quality Award in recognition of his work at The River Gardens development off Banning Street.
Construction work is nearing completion at the site, where all 264 homes for private sale have now been sold.
He is among the 443 winners who have been selected to receive the accolade by the National House Building Council (NHBC) from a pool of more than 8,000 site managers from across the country. These recipients will now be considered for the Seal of Excellence later this year.
Pride in the Job celebrates site managers who achieve the highest standards in construction and has become one of the most prestigious competitions in the housebuilding industry since it was first held more than 40 years ago.
This is the second time that Jason has won a Quality Award, having previously picked up the prize in 2014.
Jason, 52, who lives in Basildon, Essex, said: “This award is a very satisfying achievement for our whole team because it acknowledges the effort and care that we put into each home that we build.
“We have gone above and beyond to please our customers throughout our time at The River Gardens. That is why I believe that our team fully deserved to win the Quality Award.”
After starting out in the construction industry as a carpenter at the age of 17, Jason joined Bellway as a site manager in 2009.
He continued: “I first went into carpentry because my father and my elder brother were both working for a local developer as carpenters, and I have been employed in the construction sector ever since.
“The best thing about working for Bellway is that I have been able to build strong working relationships with those on my team because we all take pride in the homes we hand over to our buyers.
“My plan for the coming years is to keep performing to the high standards we have managed to achieve at Bellway so that our customers can continue to expect the best from us.”
John Haggerstone, Construction Director for Bellway Thames Gateway, said: “For our site managers, winning an NHBC award in any year is rewarding, but this year has been a special achievement in such challenging circumstances, ensuring our building sites are kept to the highest standards we set ourselves at Bellway, and keeping our customers and local residents happy with the work we are doing across those sites.
“Jason and his team have consistently demonstrated their excellence in delivering new homes to our customers over the past 12 months and Bellway is extremely proud of and grateful for their efforts, resulting in the Quality Award they have been deservingly given by NHBC. We would wish Jason all the very best for the next stage of the NHBC awards this year, as he progresses to the Seal of Excellence phase of judging.”
