A TRIO of building site bosses have scooped awards in the industry 'Oscars'.

The site managers won Pride in the Job Quality Awards from the National House Building Council.

The awards are known as the Oscars of the housebuilding industry.

Rob Ruffy, 48, from Maldon, has worked for Barratt and David Wilson Homes for more than 25 years.

Maldon and Burnham Standard:

He received his sixth quality award from the NHBC for exceptional standards at the Mortimer Place development in Hatfield Peverel.

He said: “It’s brilliant to be recognised with a Pride in the Job Award and it’s a testament to how hard the team works to provide top quality homes for our customers.

“After what has been a fairly challenging year, seeing a development come to life is one of the best parts of the job and I’d like to thank my team of contractors and my assistant site manager, Jack Armstrong, for their continued support throughout.”

Maldon and Burnham Standard:

James Armstrong, 36, is the senior site manager at the Corinthian Place development in Maldon Road in Burnham.

James is originally from Southend and started working for David Wilson Homes four years ago.

He said: “It feels fantastic to have won my fourth Pride in the Job award, and I couldn’t have done it without my team who have supported me throughout the past year.”

Maldon and Burnham Standard:

Senior site manager of the Riverside Grange development in North Fambridge Jordan Cannon, 25, also received an award.

He said: “Last year I received my first ever Pride in the Job award, and to have won another this year is an absolute honour.

“I’m incredibly proud of how far I’ve come during my time with David Wilson Homes, and I want to thank everyone on the site team who has helped me to climb up the ranks since I joined when I was 16."

The site managers were judged on health and safety, technical knowledge, customer service and attention to detail.
