A STOKE Lacy man has been judged one of the best building site managers in the UK for the second year in a row.

Dave Farmer, who has worked for Persimmon Homes South Midlands for four years, received a quality award in the National House Building Council's pride in the job campaign.

It was given for his work on the Saxon Park development in Tewkesbury.

"I can only attribute my success to a brilliant team effort," said Mr Farmer.

He now goes on to the national stage of the competition and could be shortlisted for the highest industry accolade - the UK Supreme Award.
