Major health and safety award for Scottish site manager

Billy McCallum, a site manager for CALA Homes (West), has won the Best Site in the Large Builder category at an industry health and safety awards event.

The national award-win follows Billy achieving commended status in the first stage of the awards process alongside CALA Homes (West) colleague John Fitzsimmons in May this year.

More than 450 sites from all corners of the UK were entered into the NHBC Health and Safety Awards, with only three national winners selected across Large Builder, Medium Builder and Multi-Storey Builder at the ceremony.

Now in their tenth year, the prestigious awards recognise commitment to health and safety standards, with an independent judging panel selecting winners based on a rigorous set of criteria.

McCallum and CALA Homes (West) are no strangers to success at these awards – last year, three sites were awarded Highly Commended status at the ceremony.

He said: “To be named a national winner at an industry-leading awards ceremony is a great achievement for myself and the team. The accolade is testament to our commitment to ensuring we create a safe and productive working environment. We had a fantastic night, and cannot thank NHBC enough.”

Stuart Hosegood, director of health & safety at CALA Homes, added: “We are delighted to see Billy receive well-deserved recognition as one of the UK’s top site managers for his commitment to health and safety – which plays a hugely important role in delivering high-quality new homes.

“Not only is the award an incredible achievement, it is also testament to Billy’s skilled leadership in promoting the exceptionally high standards for which CALA is renowned. The award also comes thanks to the constant support and dedication of the wider CALA team and our subcontractors – and to them I would like to extend a special thanks, as well as congratulations to Billy and his team.”
