Redrow Reaps rewards for site safety
A hat trick of Redrow developments have
received plaudits from the National House Building Council (NHBC) for displaying
excellence in health and safety. The developer has scooped 3 commendations
at the annual NHBC Health and Safety Awards. 2 sites in Lancashire, Harbour
Village in Fleetwood and The Coppice in Banks near Southport, plus the Compton
Park development in Wolverhampton, are now in the running to be named overall
regional or national winners at the prestigious awards ceremony at the ICC in
Birmingham on 3 July 2015.
Now in their 7th year, the awards are the UK's only health and safety awards
scheme exclusively for home builders. Primarily designed to recognise and reward
the very best in health and safety, the awards are also helping to drive up
safety standards in the industry by showcasing and sharing best practice.
Harbour Village, The Coppice and Compton Park are 3 of just 54 developments
nationwide to receive commendations.
David Ford, Group health and safety director for Redrow Homes, said:- "I'm
delighted that three of our developments have been recognised by the judges.
It's a real team effort and I would like to congratulate the site teams and our
contractors for their hard work and determination and wish them the best of luck
for the finals. We continue to aim for the highest standards of health and
safety. Keeping our staff, contractors and visitors safe on our building sites
will continue to be a top priority for Redrow."
To achieve a commendation, building sites are subject to multiple inspection
visits carried out by NHBC health and safety advisors. Overall regional and
national winners will ultimately be determined by an independent judging panel.
Site manager Stuart Bullough is overseeing the building of new homes at Redrow's
Harbour Village venture which lies next to the marina and close to Freeport
Fleetwood. Also in Lancashire, The Coppice site manger Shaun Phoenix is leading
the creation of new homes in the village of Banks, which is a short drive from
the beaches, tourist attractions, bars, cafes and restaurants of Southport.
In the Midlands, Redrow's Compton Park housing venture, run by site manager
David Dodd, forms part of a wider £50 million scheme to regenerate the
University of Wolverhampton's Compton Park campus. Redrow Homes is 1 of several
partners involved in the project, which also includes a football academy and a
remodelled school.
