Steve Walker, Poundbury site manager for CG Fry & Son, has been crowned the Supreme Winner in the medium builder category at the NHBC (National House Building Council) Pride in the Job Supreme Awards 2026, for building homes of exceptional quality at Poundbury.

Pride in the Job celebrates site managers’ dedication to raising standards in housebuilding, showcasing best practice and rewarding excellence. The awards recognise the best site managers in the UK and are run by the NHBC, the UK’s largest provider of new home warranties and insurance.

Commenting on his award win, Steve said: “Winning this award is a high point in what has been an incredible 32 year journey at Poundbury. While I am honoured by the title of Supreme Winner, I am most proud of the teamwork and dedication that goes into every single home – I have a truly brilliant team.”

He added: “I love nothing more than walking around Poundbury with my dog, Ria, and reflecting on each building and street scene – it’s a very special place to me.”

Philip Fry, managing director at CG Fry & Son, said: “We are incredibly proud of Steve; he’s an exceptional site manager and fully deserves this national recognition. His attention to detail is excellent and his success is a testament to his leadership and the hard work of his entire team.

“To be singled out nationally for the eighth time is an outstanding achievement and we couldn’t be happier for Steve and the Poundbury team.”
