Posted: 9th July 2025

Derek Tait of Miller Homes recognised with NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award

Miller Homes is celebrating a major accolade for one of its employees in Edinburgh, as Site Manager, Derek Tait has been awarded an NHBC Pride in the Job Quality Award for his work at the West Craigs Manor development. This marks Derek’s sixth time receiving the coveted award, highlighting his continued excellence and dedication in site management.

Widely regarded as one of the most prestigious honours in the UK housebuilding industry, the Pride in the Job Awards recognise site managers who demonstrate exceptional standards in build quality, health and safety, and overall management, with winners chosen through a rigorous judging process.

Derek was selected from thousands of site managers across the UK, placing him among a standout group of just 450 recipients of a 2025 Quality award; a testament to his leadership and the consistently high standards delivered at Antonine Brae.

Speaking about his win, Derek said: “Leading the West Craigs Manor team has been a hugely rewarding experience and I’ve really enjoyed watching the development come to life. Receiving this award is a fantastic honour and speaks to the high standards we aim for on site every day. It’s also a reflection of the dedication and craftsmanship of the team around me, so I’m pleased to share this recognition with them.”

David Mathie, Production Director for Miller Homes added: “The Pride in the Job Quality award is a fantastic achievement so we’re all really proud of Derek and his team. The awards highlight the skill, effort and commitment it takes to deliver homes of the highest standard – something we pride ourselves on at Miller Homes – so it’s brilliant to see Derek’s leadership and the team’s hard work recognised at a national level.”

Derek will now progress to the next stage of the competition, where he will be considered for a coveted Seal of Excellence and potential Regional Award.
