Kent site managers scoop three prizes at top industry awards

Redrowโ€™s South East division has won three โ€˜Pride in the Job Qualityโ€™ awards from the National House Building Council (NHBC).

The award celebrates the exceptional contribution site managers make in creating homes of outstanding quality. Redrowโ€™s award-winners in the region include Jack Leslie at Ebbsfleet Green, Prageeth Harischandra at Amber Fields, and Ian Day at Oakdene.

Launched over forty years ago, โ€˜Pride in the Jobโ€™ is the most highly regarded competition in the housebuilding industry, with winners selected from a pool of 16,000 site managers across the UK.

The 12-month selection and judging process identifies site managers who demonstrate skills such as leadership, technical expertise and attention to detail.

Jack Leslie, a site manager at Redrowโ€™s flagship Ebbsfleet Green development, is celebrating his first โ€˜Pride in the Jobโ€™ award, having joined Redrow in September 2015 as a trainee site manager. He is now focused on delivering Redrowโ€™s 900-home community in Ebbsfleet Garden City.

For Prageeth Harischandra, this is the third โ€˜Pride in the Jobโ€™ award. Prageeth joined Redrow as an assistant site manager in 2016 and has since progressed to managing Amber Fields, Redrowโ€™s scenic development in Sittingbourne.

Ian Day joined Redrow in 2015 as a site manager, rising through the ranks to focus on the delivery of Oakdene at The Hoplands, Canterbury as senior project site manager. In what is a remarkable achievement, this is Ianโ€™s sixth โ€˜Pride in the Jobโ€™ award win.

Ben Fewsdale, managing director at Redrow South East, said: โ€œThe continued success of our people demonstrates the exceptional contribution our colleagues make to Redrow and our customers.

โ€œWeโ€™re committed to giving people a better way to live, and that is enshrined in the commitment they have to bring our communities to life across the South East region.

โ€œMany congratulations to Jack, Prageeth, and Ian, as well as the wider Redrow team and supply chain involved. Everybodyโ€™s work is greatly appreciated.
