A Swindon-based Taylor Wimpey site manager has been recognised as one of the best in the region after winning second award.

Matt Winter, who oversaw work at the sold-out Ambrose Gardens development in Croft Road, has been named as a Seal of Excellence winner in this year’s National House-Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Quality Award scheme.

The Seal of Excellence is the next step up from the Quality Award, which Matt won in July this year. 

The Seal is one of the top honours handed out by the NHBC each year. They recognise and reward a site manager’s dedication to achieving the highest standards in house building, as well as their commitment to building homes of outstanding quality.

Out of 10,000 Site Managers from around the UK, Matt is one of a select few to receive the Seal of Excellence. 

With 72 of its Site Managers recognised for their achievements in 2021, Taylor Wimpey says it now has more award winning Site Managers per development than any other major national homebuilder.

Matt said: “I was so chuffed to win my first NHBC Quality Award earlier this year. It’s an accolade that every site manager strives to win and I’m incredibly grateful to the site project team and the contractors that worked on Ambrose Gardens, as receiving this award is the recognition of the hard work put in by them all.

“I had absolutely no expectation that I would be in the running to then go on and win a Seal of excellence, and I was over the moon to go up and collect this award.

“Thank you to all involved for supporting me and constantly working hard to produce quality homes for our customers, it is a fantastic achievement which I am greatly proud of winning.”

Simon Cook, Production Director at Taylor Wimpey Oxfordshire added: “We are so proud that Matt has been recognised by the NHBC for a Seal of Excellence award. This was Matt’s first NHBC quality award, which is a tremendous achievement itself, so to win a Seal of Excellence for the first time as well is truly a fantastic triumph.”

For over 40 years, Pride in the Job Quality Awards have been highly regarded in the house-building industry. Awards are said to be presented following a rigorous judging process by NHBC inspectors and Taylor Wimpey says Matt’s win gives homebuyers the assurance that the homes at Ambrose Gardens are of the highest quality.
