West Wales Site Manager picks up prestigious Quality Award

Lee Lewis, site manager at the Maes Y Rhos development in Ystradgynlais, has been honoured by the National House Building Council (NHBC) with the prestigious Pride in the Job Quality Award, recognising his commitment to building quality homes.

Lee is one of 15 Persimmon site managers to earn the award in 2025, reflecting the company’s continued high standards in delivery across the UK. At Maes Y Rhos, Lee is supported by assistant site managers.

Maes Y Rhos is a new development offering a mix of 3 to 5-bedroom homes in a sought-after location on the edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park. The site is already establishing itself as a welcoming new neighbourhood, offering a peaceful setting with excellent connections to Swansea and beyond.

The Pride in the Job competition is highly regarded in the homebuilding industry, serving as a benchmark for outstanding quality and performance among site managers.

All site managers on NHBC Buildmark warranty-registered sites are eligible to compete. Quality Award winners advance to the Seal of Excellence Award stage, with the opportunity to compete for Regional Awards and the ultimate Pride in the Job Supreme Awards in January 2026.

Lee shared his thoughts on receiving the award:

“It’s a fantastic feeling to be recognised by the NHBC – and a huge credit to everyone on the team.

“At Maes Y Rhos, we take great pride in building homes to the highest standards, and in creating a community that residents will enjoy for years to come.

“This award is a great boost and reflects the care we bring to the job every day.”

Stuart Phillips, Managing Director for Persimmon West Wales, said:

“We’re thrilled for Lee and the whole team at Maes Y Rhos.

“The quality of work they’re delivering speaks for itself, and this recognition from the NHBC is thoroughly deserved.

“Lee’s dedication and leadership are making a real difference on site and for our customers.”
