Alskea, a leading home builder in Northern Ireland, is proud to announce that its site manager, Cathal Brannigan, has been honoured with a top award for house building quality at the recent NHBC ‘Pride in the Job Supreme Awards’ in London.

Cathal was recognised for his exceptional work at Oakfield Park in Newtownabbey, a project that illustrates Alskea’s commitment to excellence in house building. Competing against over 8,000 entrants from across the UK, Cathal won in the medium builder category, marking him as the only winner from Northern Ireland at this prestigious event.

It is also the first time any house builder in Northern Ireland has won the medium builder category.

The Pride in the Job Supreme Awards, organised by the National House Building Council (NHBC), is the most esteemed competition in the UK house-building industry. Now in its 43rd year, the awards celebrate the highest standards in the sector, covering England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and the Isle of Man.

Judges assess each site manager across six key areas, including consistency, attention to detail, leadership, technical expertise, and health and safety. This recognition places Cathal amongst the best site managers in the UK, highlighting his dedication to building homes of outstanding quality.

Cathal said: “Receiving this award is not only a personal milestone but a testament to the effort and dedication of the entire Alskea team. I am deeply grateful to Alskea for providing an environment that values excellence, encourages innovation, and constantly pushes the boundaries of quality in house building. This recognition underscores our shared commitment to creating homes that aren’t just houses, but are foundations for families and communities.”

Shane Maguire, Director at Alskea, expressed his pride in Cathal’s achievement: “To be recognised as the best site manager within the medium builder category in the entire UK is a remarkable win. This is not only an outstanding achievement for Cathal but for the entire Alskea team, as well as all our subcontractors and suppliers who play a significant role in constructing each home.

“Alskea extends heartfelt thanks to everyone involved for their hard work, dedication, and continuous efforts in achieving such high standards of workmanship.”
