A building site manager has earned recognition for his leadership in housebuilding.
Tom Williams, from Trowbridge, received a Pride in the Job Quality Award from the National House Building Council (NHBC) for his work at Barratt Bristol’s Platinum Place development on Elizabeth Way in Hilperton.
For more than 40 years, the NHBC’s Pride in the Job scheme has been dedicated to recognising the industry’s very best performers and is a prestigious accolade that site managers aspire to achieve.
Mr Williams said: "I've really enjoyed my time at Barratt and have embraced the new challenges that have come with it.
"Quality is at the heart of everything we do, and it's a great feeling to have that hard work acknowledged with an award.
"This is an achievement I’ve been working towards for a long time and it’s incredibly rewarding to finally achieve it.
"However, no site manager succeeds alone.
"I’m fortunate to work alongside an exceptional team whose hard work and dedication make achievements like this possible.
"This award belongs just as much to them as it does to me."
Mr Williams began his career as an apprentice carpenter at the age of 16 and became a site manager just three years ago.
He was promoted to senior site manager at Barratt in 2024.
The NHBC’s Pride in the Job Awards have recognised outstanding site management for more than 40 years.
Winners must demonstrate high performance in quality of workmanship, technical expertise, health and safety, and leadership.
Kevin White, construction director at Barratt Bristol, said: "Since he first joined us years ago, Tom’s contribution to our developments has been nothing short of extraordinary, so we’re thrilled that his hard work has been recognised by the NHBC.
"His passion and commitment shines through everything he does, so it’s no surprise to see him winning this award.
"The Pride in the Job Award is something all site managers want to win, so for Barratt Bristol to receive six awards this year really is a wonderful achievement and thoroughly deserved – well done Tom!"
Platinum Place is a Barratt development offering two, three, and four-bedroom homes in Hilperton, just outside Trowbridge.
The site is described as being surrounded by green spaces and well connected to nearby towns and cities such as Bath and Bristol.
Homes at Platinum Place start from £324,995 and are aimed at families, downsizers, and commuters.
