Alan Massie, site manager for Skipton Properties' flagship Long Acres development in Haworth, has been judged one of the best site managers in the north by the National House-Building Council (NHBC).

He has been chosen as a Quality Award winner in the NHCB's annual 'Pride In The Job' campaign, a national initiative to encourage and recognise the highest standards in building.

Alan won the award at Long Acres as a result of his leadership in directing the site's building team towards delivering high standards of workmanship.

Brian Verity, managing director of Skipton Properties, says: "Alan has in fact won this prestigious award on various Skipton Properties developments for the last five years running, which is not only great testimony to his own dedication, it also reflects the care and enthusiasm of the whole team."

Alan now goes through to the national stage of the competition in a bid for one of the 'Top 100 Seals of Excellence' awards.
