A LICHFIELD site manager is celebrating after receiving an award for his work at a local development.
Ian Larkins, from Redrow Midlands' Curborough Lakes scheme on Watery Lane, was given the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Quality Award.
Having followed his father into the construction industry, Ian has gone on to enjoy a career spanning more than half a century.
He said:
"I've really enjoyed my time at Redrow 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 recognition is something I’ve been working towards for a long time and it’s incredibly rewarding to finally achieve it. That said, a site manager is only ever as strong as the team around them — and I’m fortunate to have an exceptional team by my side. This award is as much theirs as it is mine."
It is the fifth time Ian has landed the honour during his career.
Joe Watson, sales director at Redrow Midlands said:
"Since he joined us a year ago, Ian’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 to receive one really is a wonderful achievement and thoroughly deserved. Well done Ian."
