THE site manager at a Somerset housing development has been awarded for achieving high standards.

Mel Brook, who is managing Bloor Homes’ Brue Place development in Highbridge, received a Seal of Excellence award at this year’s Pride in the Job Quality Awards held by the National House Builders Council (NHBC).

He was one of five site managers to pick up the prestigious award, having progressed to the regional stage of the competition after being recognised for a Pride in the Job Quality Award in June.

The Seal of Excellence is given to site managers deemed to have demonstrated excellence in their dedication to build quality, teamwork and process.

Mel’s honour comes for his work at the development in Ryeland Street.

Jon Fletcher, managing director for Bloor Homes’ South West region, said: “We are extremely proud of Mel for reaching this point in the competition. He and the other winning site managers set the bar high for everyone working on site to achieve the standards we all aspire to for our customers.

“Of course, we already know Mel is an excellent Site Manager, but we’re very pleased the NHBC has recognised it too.”
