Four Bloor Homes Exeter site managers recognised by NHBC for raising standards in house building
Four site managers from Bloor Homes’ Exeter region have been recognised as one of the best in the UK after winning a top housing industry award.
Ross Carey at Bloor Homes at Pinhoe, Exeter; Sam Musto at The Meadows, Cullompton; Jason Lockyer at Winsford Park, Bideford; and Mike Mitchell at Dawlish View, Dawlish are celebrating their Pride in the Job 2025 Quality Award from NHBC, the UK’s largest provider of new home warranties and insurance.
Now in its 45th year and widely considered the ‘Oscars’ of the house-building industry, Pride in the Job celebrates site managers’ dedication to raising standards in house building, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence.
Judging is rigorous, with assessment across six key areas: consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise and health and safety. Thousands of inspections, with meticulous scoring and detailed verifications, have taken place to determine the 450 winners from a field of circa 8,200 sites, representing the top 5% of UK site managers.
Bradley Davison, Managing Director for Bloor Homes’ Exeter region, said: “It’s an immense pleasure to see the extraordinary dedication of four site managers in our region honoured in this year’s NHBC Pride in the Job awards - an achievement gained after an intensive judging process which places them at the very top of their field. Ross, Sam, Jason and Mike exemplify construction excellence with a customer-first approach that consistently raises the bar to deliver the exceptional quality our homeowners deserve. Our thanks go to NHBC for acknowledging the outstanding contributions these leaders make to our industry.”
Commenting on the awards, Steve Wood, CEO at NHBC said: “Congratulations to all four site managers who have demonstrated the dedication, passion and leadership skills necessary to deliver new homes to exacting construction quality standards.
“Thousands of outstanding site managers have made their mark on the industry in the 45 years Pride in the Job has been running. This continued focus on excellence is vital to support the Government’s 1.5 million new homes target and to ensure that all housing is built to the quality owners and occupiers should expect.”
Pride in the Job has five categories: small, medium and large builders, plus multi-storey for projects up to seven storeys and high-rise for projects more than seven storeys.
The Quality Award winners will now go on to compete for Seal of Excellence and Regional Awards in the autumn, with the national Supreme Award winners unveiled in January 2026.

About Pride in the Job:
Running for 45 years, Pride in the Job is the most highly regarded competition in the house-building industry and the most prestigious benchmark for exceptional site managers.
The competition is at the heart of NHBC’s core purpose to raise standards in house building. It inspires site managers and their teams to give just that little bit more, to win their first award, get to the next level or continue a winning streak.
NHBC automatically enters every site manager with a site registered for a Buildmark warranty into the competition. There are no entry fees or forms.
Pride in the Job covers England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Man and recognises site managers across five categories:
- Small builder – for site managers employed by a company or group that builds between one and 50 new homes with NHBC warranty cover each year.

- Multi-storey – for site managers working on multi-storey projects of up to and including seven storeys for multiple occupancy with NHBC warranty cover. This category recognises the different skill set required to manage this type of site.
- High-rise – for site managers working on multi-storey projects of more than seven storeys for multiple occupancy with NHBC warranty cover. This category recognises the different skill set required to manage this type of site.
