Taylor Wimpey’s East Kilbride Site Manager wins national housebuilding award

Iain Alexander, Site Manager at Benthall Farm development in East Kilbride, is celebrating having won a prestigious national housebuilding award. Out of 16,000 entries, Iain has been honoured with a NHBC (National House Building Council) Pride in the Job Quality Award, which is the fifth quality award of his career, as well as a previous top ten Seal of Excellence Award.

The awards recognise an individual’s dedication to building high-quality homes for new homebuyers and are presented following a rigorous judging process by NHBC inspectors. This includes assessing the developments throughout the year, as well as spot checks, giving homebuyers the assurance that Taylor Wimpey’s Benthall Farm development provides top-quality homes and excellent customer service.

Iain Alexander, Site Manager at Benthall Farm said: “I’m delighted to have won a Quality Award. It’s a fantastic honour, not just for me, but the whole team at Benthall Farm. They all work incredibly hard and take great pride in ensuring that the homes we build are completed to the highest possible standards.”

Brian Henderson, Production Director of Taylor Wimpey West Scotland, added: “We are committed to maintaining the highest levels of quality and customer service, and this recognition has ensured that we continue to be an NHBC award-winning housebuilder year after year. Iain’s Quality Award is thoroughly deserved and we’ll all be supporting him as he progresses through to the regional heats and hopefully to the grand final in London.”

We are proud to leave a lasting legacy in East Kilbride 

Children from Crosshouse Primary School in the Greenhills area of East Kilbride have been getting green-fingered by planting 300 spring bulbs in planters around their school playground and their school garden.

We have donated the 300 bulbs and planters as part of our national Proud campaign to show our commitment and pride in leaving a lasting legacy in the communities in which we build.

The planting took place earlier this month and the bulbs are set to grow into a bright, floral tribute in the planters situated around the playground and in the school garden.  Ann Connor, Sales Executive from our local development at Benthall Farm in East Kilbride joined in with the planting. 

Audrey Ross, Sales and Marketing Director at Taylor Wimpey West Scotland said: “We are proud to be building a new community at our Benthall Farm development in East Kilbride, and we want to leave places that both our customers and other local residents will enjoy long after we have finished building.

“We were thrilled to help children from Crosshouse Primary with the planting and we hope that the bulbs will grow into a lovely display that the children will admire in years to come.”

We Give A Lesson In Safety To Local School Children In East Kilbride

Recently our team from Benthall Farm in East Kilbride gave the local children of Crosshouse Primary School in the Greenhills area of East Kilbride some reminders about health and safety.  

With construction of new homes at Benthall Farm on the outskirts of East Kilbride in full swing,  we are keen to promote the dangers associated with playing near any construction site and to take the opportunity to raise awareness of the children’s need to be extra vigilant as the building of its new homes progresses.  

Being proactive with local schools has proven an effective deterrent in the past as Brian Henderson, Production Director explains:  “Health and safety in and around our construction areas is of vital importance to Taylor Wimpey.  Taking this type of proactive approach with local schools allows us to reinforce just how important it is for children to stay away from building sites, and it gives us the chance to remind the children that building sites are not playgrounds!”

Isabelle Murray, Headteacher at Crosshouse Primary School adds:  “I was delighted to welcome the team from Taylor Wimpey into our school to highlight the dangers associated with children playing near any construction site.  It was the ideal opportunity for them to reinforce their safety message ahead of the February school break when many of our pupils will be enjoying their time away from the classroom.

“It’s great that Taylor Wimpey understands the importance of our children’s safety, and has created such an interactive and proactive approach to appeal to our pupils.”
