A building site manager has won an award for his overseeing of the soon-to-be-completed housing development in Langford.

Simon Blackburn scooped Pride in the Job's Seal of Excellence award for his involvement in the construction of Blagdon Gardens, which started in 2018.

By doing so, Simon becomes the first person in developers Bellway's South West branch to win the title.

He said: "To have been selected to receive a Seal of Excellence award is amazing and it is certainly a highlight of my career.

“Blagdon Gardens has been a fantastic development to manage and this award is a testament to my team and the tradespeople on site.
