Milton Keynes site manager wins prestigious national award
A site manager from Milton Keynes is celebrating after receiving an award for his work at a local housing development.
Hedley Jackson won the Pride in the Job 2026 Quality Award for his excellence in on-site management at Redrow South Midlands’s Woburn View on Newport Road.
For more than 40 years, the National House Building Council (NHBC) scheme has been dedicated to rewarding the industry’s very best performers and is a prestigious accolade that all site managers aspire to achieve.
To receive the award, entrants must score highly in all areas of build and site management, including quality of workmanship, technical expertise, health and safety and leadership. Judges look for meticulous attention to detail and the special qualities and attributes that set the best site managers apart from the rest.
Hedley joined Redrow as a project site manager 13 years ago. This is his second year at the Woburn Sands development.
He said: “I've really enjoyed my time at Redrow and have embraced the new challenges that have come with it. Quality is at the heart of everything we do, and it's a great feeling to have that hard work acknowledged with an award.
“This recognition is something I’ve been working towards for a long time and it’s incredibly rewarding to finally achieve it. That said, a site manager is only ever as strong as the team around them – and I’m fortunate to have an exceptional team by my side. This award is as much theirs as it is mine."
This is Hedley’s sixth Pride in the Job award, having won his first accolade 10 years ago. During this incredible decade of recognition, Hedley was also chosen as one of a handful across the country for a ‘Seal of Excellence’ for his exceptional site standards.
Emma Wetherill, Sales Manager at Redrow South Midlands said: “Since he joined us 13 years ago, Hedley’s contribution to our developments has been nothing short of extraordinary, so we’re thrilled his hard work has been recognised by the NHBC.
“His passion and commitment shines through everything he does, so it’s no surprise to see him winning this award.
“The Pride in the Job award is something all site managers want to win, so to receive six across his career really is a wonderful achievement and thoroughly deserved – well done, Hedley!”
Set in the outskirts of Milton Keynes, Woburn View offers a range of eco-friendly, family homes in the traditional market town of Woburn Sands. There’s also a golf course, plenty of drinking and dining options, and travel links that make the development ideal for families and commuters alike.
