Site manager wins second industry award in a row for Yarm development

A Bellway Durham site manager has been awarded one of the industry’s most prestigious accolades for the second year in a row.

Steven Taylor received a Seal of Excellence at the National House Building Council’s (NHBC) Pride in the Job Awards regional ceremony on 24 September for his work at Conyers Green at Yarm.

The 45-year-old – who has recently moved to oversee construction at Bellway’s new Castlegate development in Skelton-in-Cleveland – is just one of 16 people in the NHBC’s North East region to earn the coveted prize in 2021.

The award is made to a select group of site managers chosen from recipients of the Pride in the Job Quality Awards which were announced earlier this year.

Steven, who has now also won four Pride in the Job awards in total, said: “I am really chuffed to win this award for the second year in a row as it is recognition for all the hard work myself and my team put in at Conyers Green.

“Over the last year or so, we faced a number of challenges caused by the coronavirus pandemic, which included shortages of labour and basic building materials, but we gave it our best and pulled through together without dropping any of our high standards.

“I won the Seal of Excellence last year but, due to the restrictions imposed because of the coronavirus, had to receive the award online. However, this year I was able to go to a fabulous ceremony at the Royal Armouries in Leeds, step up onto the stage in front of my peers and be handed the award.

“I have only been working for Bellway for three years so I must be doing something right to get these awards. I have just started as site manager at the new Castlegate development in Skelton-in-Cleveland and am aiming to make it a hat-trick of wins with my team there.”

Rob Mitchell, Head of Construction for Bellway Durham, said: “Steven is a great site manager and we are lucky to have him on board at Bellway. The Seal of Excellence awards are very prestigious as they recognise the work of the best site managers in the business.

“Over the last year or so, we have faced up to some extremely challenging conditions which were caused by Covid-19. The dedication and diligence of Steven and his team allowed us as a company to overcome these hurdles and to continue to deliver high-quality homes and a five-star service.”

Bellway is delivering 168 homes for private sale at Conyers Green, with 89 properties in phase one of the development, off Green Lane, and 79 in phase two.

There are currently four and five-bedroom homes available at Conyers Green with prices starting at £298,995.

Meanwhile, at Castlegate in Skelton-in-Cleveland, Bellway is building 141 homes, featuring a mix of three and four-bedroom properties, which form the final part of a wider development. Work has started on site and it is hoped that homes will be released for sale before the end of the year.

Showhome now open at five-star rated development in Brampton

A new showhome has opened at Bellway’s Brampton Gate, highlighting the quality and attention to detail which has led to top customer satisfaction scores at the development so far this year.

The Henlow showhome is one of six house types remaining for sale at the site, off Laws Crescent, where all but 17 of the homes have now been sold.

The housebuilder was recently awarded five-star status by the Home Builders Federation (HBF) for the fifth consecutive year, which means that more than 90 per cent of customers said they would recommend Bellway to a friend or family member.

And all 12 customers who have completed their move to Brampton Gate so far this year and have completed HBF customer satisfaction surveys have responded with 100 per cent positive feedback about their new homes.

The development’s site manager, Paul Lawrence, has also recently secured his third consecutive Pride in the Job Quality Award from the NHBC, for his excellence in site management.

Luke Southgate, Sales Director of Bellway Northern Home Counties, said: “This fantastic result is down to the hard work of Bellway’s construction, sales and customer care teams for Brampton Gate, and highlights the high level of care and attention that goes into every Bellway home.

“Construction work at Brampton Gate is progressing well and is scheduled to be completed in the next 12 months, allowing the final residents to move into their new homes in the near future.

“Paul and his team at Brampton Gate are a testament to the quality of construction Bellway prides itself on, and we’re really proud of their achievements over the past few years.”

The five-bedroom Henlow is a detached home with an open-plan kitchen/breakfast/family room, a separate living room with French doors to the garden, a separate dining room and a utility room downstairs, with a master bedroom with an en suite upstairs.

Luke said: “The Henlow showcases the benefits of living in a five-bedroom property, which provides residents with flexibility and the opportunity to create a multi-functional home.

“This will appeal to buyers searching for a new house with extra room to convert into an office, a hobby room or a gym, without having to compromise on living space.”

Brampton Gate is a mix of three, four and five-bedroom homes with prices currently starting at £470,000 for a four-bedroom detached house.

Prices for the Henlow house type start at £500,000 and the showhome is open to visitors by appointment only.
