Barratt site managers won 89 Pride in the Job awards in total - more than any other housebuilder for the 20th year in a row - with 1,500 individual awards won over the years. This achievement underlines just how important building high quality homes has been to Barratt over the last two decades.

The competition is at the heart of raising standards in housebuilding, with the awards showcasing the role site managers play in ensuring much needed new homes are delivered on time, on safe sites, and to the highest quality standards.

This is the 15th year in a row that Barratt customers have rated it as a 5 star housebuilder, with more than 90% of its customers saying they would recommend it to a friend.
