For a second year in a row, our site managers at Taw Wharf Barnstaple have won a Quality Award in the first round of NHBC’s Pride in the Job Awards 2022. From a field of more than 8,000, Richard Young and Peter Hamley are two of the 443 site managers to be awarded the accolade for their work at our Taw Wharf development in Barnstaple.

The Pearce Construction ethos to training and development starts with our annual apprentice intake. The company thrives through it apprenticeship programme and has a rich history of home grown talent stretching back to the company’s inception 75 years ago. Whilst we take a modern approach to training and development we still have one eye on the old indentures that many of our employees signed up to and therefore we still offer minimum 3 year apprenticeships to a standard of level 3.

At the Building Safety Groups (BSG) annual award ceremony Pearce Construction won the BSG Occupational Health and Well-being Initiative Award. This award recognises what Pearce Construction has implemented to prevent and remove Occupational Health risks from the work-place.

With a long history in producing apprentices, we are delighted to have been awarded Large Apprentice Employer of the Year. Our hard work in developing apprentices is clearly seen as half of our staff are current or former Pearce apprentices. Our commitment has been recognised in Petroc’s Apprenticeship Employer Awards. The awards reward the exceptional work and results of employers and apprentices who work alongside Petroc.

We are delighted to announce that not just one but two of our Site Managers have been recognised by the NHBC, the UK’s leading new homes warranty and insurance provider, for this year’s winners of its flagship Pride in the Job Awards. The competition recognises site managers who have achieved the very highest standards in house building across the UK.
