FRANK McNally, MP for Coatbridge and Bellshill, has visited Barratt Homes’ Calder Gardens development to celebrate award-winning site manager Alistair Grant and discuss the benefits of the project for the local community and economy.
Alistair Grant recently secured his second NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award. He joined Barratt Homes, part of Barratt Redrow, in 2007 as a site labourer, working his way up through roles as trainee assistant site manager, assistant site manager, and finally achieving the role of site manager in 2015.
Winning the Pride in the Job award for a second time places Alistair among the top 5% of site managers in the UK. Barratt Redrow said his achievement also reflects the firm’s commitment to nurturing talent and supporting skills development within the construction industry.
Alistair Grant said, “Winning the Pride in the Job award is a testament to the hard work of the entire team here at Calder Gardens. It’s fantastic to be recognised for delivering homes of the highest quality, and to have the opportunity to showcase that work to Mr McNally today.”
Speaking during his visit, Frank McNally MP said, “Developments like Calder Gardens play a vital role in meeting the housing needs of families across Coatbridge and Bellshill while supporting skilled jobs and apprenticeships locally. I was pleased to meet Alistair and the team to learn more about this project see the hard work and expertise that goes into the delivery of quality homes for families in the constituency.
“Tackling the housing crisis and fighting for a skills revolution have been top of my agenda since my election to parliament, and it’s encouraging to see the contribution Barratt Redrow is making here in Carnbroe.”
Calder Gardens, located just off Carnbroe Road in Coatbridge, offers a collection of homes designed for first-time buyers, growing families, and downsizers.
Andy Curran, MD of Barratt Homes West Scotland, added, “This award is recognition of Alistair’s exceptional leadership and the outstanding quality of homes his team continues to deliver. His commitment to managing and motivating his team, maintaining the highest build standards, and ensuring every home meets our stringent quality expectations has been instrumental to our success at Calder Gardens.”
