We’re proud to say that our project manager, Adam Hawkes, has finished as Supreme Award runner-up in the 2024 NHBC Pride in the Job Awards. Adam, who has led the way on our Sapphire Fields site in Essex, has been driving our standards even higher when it comes to new homes. The fantastic recognition he has received from reaching the finals of this prestigious competition shows just how dedicated Adam is to his role.
Congratulations to Adam and our other Pride in the Job Supreme Award finalists.
