FOR the sixth year running an employee from a Tormarton-based housebuilding company has won a national award for site management.

Dave Beckey, 53, from Warmley won a Pride in the Job award presented by the National House-Building Council in recognition of his work.

This followed his role leading construction of Cotswold Homes’ Charlotte Mews development in Cadbury Heath.

“Winning six awards in consecutive years is a huge achievement for a company like ours and for Dave himself,” said Terri Hayes-Pugh, the firm’s head of sales and marketing.

“Because every scheme is unique, we have to start from scratch with each one and that demands a lot of extra care at the construction stage.”

In the past five years Dave, who can draw on more than 30 years of experience in the building industry, has won the awards for his work on Cotswold Homes’ earlier developments in Downend, Mangotsfield, Cam, Knowle and Staple Hill.

Commenting on his site managers’ successes, Cotswold Homes’ head of construction Guy Edge, said: “I am very proud to have a strong team consistently recognised by the NHBC for producing high quality homes.

“To have earned nine awards within six years shows we are maintaining our exemplary high standards and continuing to provide our customers in the South West with outstanding homes built on quality and consistency.”
