Taylor Wimpey West Scotland site manager, David McClure, has been named one of the UK's top site managers at the National House Building Council (NHBC) Pride in the Job Awards 2024.
The awards, organised by the NHBC, celebrate site managers commitment to building homes of outstanding quality.
Announced on Friday 24 January 2025 at London Hilton on Park Lane, this year's Pride in the Job 2024 Supreme Award winners are:
• Large builder category winner – David McClure of Taylor Wimpey West Scotland for his work at Castle Gate in Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire

• Multi-storey category winner – Stephen Harnett of Willmott Dixon Construction for his work at Homewood Grove in Chertsey, Surrey
Now in its 44th year and widely considered the 'Oscars' of the house-building industry, Pride in the Job has become the benchmark for exceptional site managers. Judging for the coveted awards is rigorous, with assessment across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety.
With more than 8,000 entrants from all four corners of the UK, the competition is split into five categories: small, medium and large builders, plus multi-storey for projects up to seven storeys and high-rise for projects more than seven storeys.
Commenting on the Awards, Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC said: "Congratulations to all the 2024 Pride in the Job Award Supreme winners and runners-up. They are an inspiration and should be very proud of the quality of new homes they are producing.
"While house building is a team effort, we believe the greatest influence on the quality of a finished home is the calibre of the site manager and the way they inspire their team. Winning site managers demonstrate dedication, passion and leadership to ensure new homes are delivered to exacting construction quality standards."
