Baker Estates is celebrating a proud moment as two of its exceptional site managers, Steve Hobden and Steve Damerell, have been honoured with coveted NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Awards for their outstanding work and dedication to quality homebuilding.
Steve Hobden was recognised for the quality of build at Little Cotton Farm in Dartmouth, while Steve Damerell earned the accolade for his work at Little Orchard in Tavistock. The NHBC Pride in the Job Awards are among the most respected in the housebuilding industry, showcasing the UK’s top site managers who demonstrate exceptional standards in construction, site management, and customer satisfaction.
Judging for the Awards is rigorous, with each site manager assessed across six key areas including consistency, attention to detail, leadership, interpretation of drawings and specifications, technical expertise, and health and safety.
Commenting on the achievement, Ian Baker, Managing Director of Baker Estates, said: “This is a fantastic result and reflects Steve Hobden and Steve Damerell’s passion and commitment to consistent high standards of build quality and customer satisfaction.
“I am sure they would want me to thank every single member of the Baker Estates team for their contribution to this success. Without the teamwork and commitment from everyone across the business, these awards would not have been possible.”
Ian added: “These awards show that we continue to do the right things, and that as a team we support each other—especially when things are tough. We have the best people at Baker Estates, and that is what makes the company successful.”
Both site managers expressed their pride in being recognised. Steve Hobden commented: “It’s a real honour to receive this award. I’m proud of what we’ve achieved at Little Cotton Farm and incredibly thankful for the hardworking and talented team that made it possible.”
Steve Damerell added: “I’m delighted to win this prestigious award. It’s a testament to the high standards we hold ourselves to every day at Little Orchard. I’m grateful for the support of my colleagues and the ethos of quality that runs through Baker Estates.”
With these wins, Baker Estates continues to demonstrate its commitment to excellence in homebuilding across the South West. The company takes pride in creating thriving communities with thoughtfully designed homes, underpinned by a strong team spirit and a passion for quality.
