A site manager for Stewart Milne Homes has been named as one of the best in the country at a gala event in Birmingham, after receiving a national award for his dedication to health and safety.
Graham Mann won the national ‘Medium Builder’ category at the annual NHBC awards and received this accolade, where he was praised by the judges for his outstanding work at one of the first neighbourhoods at the new £800m community of Countesswells.
Graham said: “I’m humbled and incredibly proud to receive this award. To be one of the best site managers and recognised for my health and safety efforts at Countesswells is great. By working with such a committed and fantastic team at Stewart Milne Homes, we’re continually working to improve our practices and drive the best safety standards in the industry.”
The awards, now in its ninth year, were organised by the NHBC – the UK’s leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes – and independently judged by health and safety professionals.
John Low, managing director of Stewart Milne Homes North Scotland, said: “Graham is testament to our ongoing drive to display the highest standards of health and safety in all our work. It’s an exceptional achievement to be named as a national winner of the NHBC awards and we're proud to have Graham as part of our organisation.
“Across Stewart Milne Group, we work hard to increase and invest in the best safety standards across the industry. Our health and safety culture is built on continuous improvement through initiatives such as “Choose Safe” combined with our construction guides to excellence and business optimisation programmes."
Stewart Milne Homes also enjoyed additional success at the NHBC health and safety awards, with Ronnie Falconer, site manager for Stewart Milne Homes’ Den View development, and Nick Athorn, site manager for Stewart Milne Homes’ development at Winterley Gardens, being announced as ‘Commended’ winners.
