LOCAL MSP Richard Lochhead was recently welcomed by Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes to its Findrassie development in celebration of two site managers’ Pride in the Job Quality Award wins.
Barry Fraser, site manager at Barratt Homes Findrassie and Martin Rait, site manager at David Wilson Homes Findrassie in Elgin, received the awards from the National House Building Council (NHBC).
This year, a total of 19 site managers from Barratt and David Wilson Homes received a Pride in the Job award for the quality of the homes they are building.
Richard Lochhead, who is also small business minister, met Barry and Martin as well as David Palmer, MD of Barratt and David Wilson Homes North Scotland, and construction director Kevin Urquhart. He received a tour of the site and was introduced to other employees from the sales and construction team.
David Palmer said, “We were thrilled to welcome Richard Lochhead MSP to Findrassie and to demonstrate the quality which we are building across all tenures in his constituency. The Pride in the Job awards acknowledge the work we’re doing to showcase our commitment in building the highest standard of homes in Elgin and across Scotland, with our elite site managers Martin and Barry being among those demonstrating our award-winning customer care.”
Richard Lochhead MSP added, “It was great to visit the new Findrassie development and to meet the award-winning team behind it – the whole team can be very proud of their work on this project. There continues to be high demand for new housing in and around Elgin and developments like Findrassie are important for the area if we’re to attract people – including key workers – to live and work in Moray.
“Of course there’s also social housing included in the development, which is sorely needed and will help many of my constituents currently on the waiting list.”
