A site manager at Barratt Homes’ The Hawthorns development in Sutton has been awarded a top industry accolade, the Seal of Excellence from the National House Building Council (NHBC).

Josh Smart was recognised for his commitment to maintaining high-quality construction standards.

The award is given to around 130 site managers, who are marked on their technical expertise, health and safety, consistency, leadership, and attention to detail.

Earlier this year Josh won his first Pride in the Job Quality Award.

“I am ecstatic to have received a Seal of Excellence award. As a first-time Pride in the Job winner, I did not expect that my team and I would win such a prestigious award on top of this,” he said.

“The entire site team are constantly striving for ways we can improve, in order to meet our high standards.

“I’d like to thank Rob Hutchings, Rob Taylor and Steve Hallam for all their help and support. It has been invaluable.”
