A dad-of-two from Oldham has won a top award for his work as a site manager.

Jake Green has been awarded the NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award for the North West, just months after being named house builder Redrow’s North West site manager of the year.

The 27-year-old is currently working as a site manager in Knutsford.

Jake said: “It’s only my second year as site manager, and Tabley Park in Knutsford is the first site I have set up and started from scratch.

“Pride in the Job is a massive award, and it comes with a huge sense of relief and achievement, especially after being named site manager of the year.

“It takes hard work and effort, but it’s about wanting to be the best of the best, and I have got a lot of pride in this site. I just want to thank the team at Tabley Park and my senior managers for supporting me, because this is an individual accolade but it’s the team that wins it. I couldn’t do it without them.”

Jake is among only 443 winners across the whole of the UK, chosen from a field of over 10,000, putting him in the top five per cent of those who entered.

Jake has worked for Redrow for the past five years, after starting its graduate scheme in 2017. He was taken off a two-year training programme and fast-tracked to a promotion after just 11 months.

Jake was given the role of assistant site manager at 23 and his own site to finish off at Mulberry Park in Macclesfield. From there he went to Cranberry Gardens in Congleton before being made site manager at Tabley Park.

NHBC judges site managers across six key areas throughout numerous site visits and inspections before deciding who will win the prestigious awards which have been a benchmark of success for more than 40 years.

The Quality Award winners will go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2023.
