He was chosen as regional winner of the NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Awards and is now in the running to become the UK supreme winner.

When Lorne Clarke left school aged 17 with just one C grade to his name, his prospects did not seem too bright.

Yet 14 years on, the Redrow employee has now been named the best site manager in the South West region by the National House Building Council (NHBC), adding to the string of accolades that accompany his career.

Clarke was chosen as regional winner of the NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Awards and is now in the running to become the UK supreme winner.

His Redrow South West colleague, Jamie Rogerson, was honoured with a Seal of Excellence.

A total of 40 site managers across the South West achieved the Pride in the Job Quality Award, from which 13 were awarded a Seal of Excellence.

One site manager is then picked from the final 13 as the regional winner to compete in the national contest.

Lorne, who worked as a bricklayer for nine years before climbing the ranks in site management, won his first award as a site manager in 2009.

Lee Hawker, managing director at Redrow South West, said: “We would like to congratulate Lorne on this fantastic achievement and wish him loads of luck for the next stage.

“We’re very proud of all our award-winning site managers and delighted that a record number of them have been recognised by the NHBC.”
