Christian Jones of Roland Jones Developments based in Worcestershire won a Seal of Excellence in the second round of the NHBC Pride in the Job Awards 2019 held at the Hilton Brighton Metropole. He was honoured for his dedication to building homes of very high quality before an audience of 600 for his site One the Tonsleys in Wandsworth, London.

Now in its 39th year, Pride in the Job, organised by NHBC, the UK’s leading warranty and insurance provider for new homes, are the most highly regarded in the house-building industry. They recognise and reward a site manager’s dedication to achieving the highest standards in house building, and their commitment to building homes of outstanding quality.

Site managers are automatically entered into the competition if they are working on a site registered for NHBC warranty. The competition is free and the winners are decided by a panel of expert judges making site visits; Christian showed impressive dedication to achieving the highest quality on their sites.

Roland Jones said:

“All of us at Roland Jones Developments were delighted to win the NHBC Pride in the Job award and thrilled that Christian Jones picked up the coveted Seal of Excellence award, at the Gala lunch for London and the South East, for his project One The Tonsleys in Wandsworth, South West London. The NHBC Pride in the Job awards are, for us, the pinnacle of the house building industry awards and we are very proud to have been recognised by the NHBC once again. It comes as particularly good timing for Christian as Roland Jones having been a member of the NHBC since 1969 will be handing over the day to day running of this family business to Christian at the end of the year.”

Commenting on the awards, NHBC Regional Director, Mehban Chowdery said:

“A site manager’s job is one of the toughest in house building and they carry out a role that has many hats. They are the pivotal part in building someone’s home, ensuring it is built on time and on budget while maintaining high quality and the safety of everyone onsite.

“To reach this level of the competition means you are at the very top of the house-building industry. Christian is without doubt building homes to an exceptional standard and is a worthy winner.”
