Ipswich site manager wins national Pride In The Job award

A Taylor Wimpey senior site manager from Ipswich is celebrating after winning a prestigious national house-building award.

Tim Chandler, senior site manager at Taylor Wimpey’s Purdis Grange development, beat off stiff competition from around 15,000 entries to be honoured with an NHBC (National House-Building Council) Pride in the Job Quality Award.

Pride in the Job Quality Awards are presented following a stringent judging process by NHBC inspectors who perform spot checks and continuous assessment of developments throughout the year.

The award recognises Tim’s dedication to building high-quality homes for new homebuyers and provides purchasers with the assurance that the development provides top-quality properties and excellent customer service.

Steve Rolt, managing director of Taylor Wimpey East Anglia said: “I’d like to congratulate Tim for winning a Quality Award – his success is thoroughly deserved.

“Here at Taylor Wimpey East Anglia, we are committed to maintaining the highest levels of quality and customer service and this has ensured that we continue to be an NHBC award-winning housebuilder year after year.”

Pride in the Job is the only UK-wide awards scheme that recognises the significant contribution of Site Managers who achieve the highest standards in new home construction.

The scheme has been instrumental in raising the build quality of new homes in the UK for over three decades, and the Supreme Awards gala final is due to be held in London in January 2016.

There is now only one home left at Taylor Wimpey’s Purdis Grange development, which is the five-bedroom ‘Spruce’ home priced at £635,000. Home-hunters looking for a slice of luxury living should act quickly to avoid disappointment.

Purdis Grange is set on the much sought-after Bucklesham Road and neighbours the prestigious Ipswich Golf Club.
