Wates appointed to £7BN schools construction framework
One of our experienced Project Managers, Glyn Williams, has been crowned Site Manager of the Year at the annual LABC Excellence Awards in London.
Glyn, who has worked in construction for 40 years and mostly on commercial projects, was recognised for his continuing work on Ffordd Pandarus, where we’re building a selection of affordable housing in Mostyn, North Wales as part of Flintshire County Council’s landmark Strategic Housing and Regeneration Programme (SHARP).
The award celebrates the skill and commitment it takes to deliver quality in construction, and every year site managers across the country are recognised for their exceptional contribution to home building with regional and national Site Manager Awards from LABC Warranty.

I’m very proud, and it means a lot, as I’ve never been nominated or won awards before. I’ve spent most of my career in the commercial side, so it’s fantastic to be involved in building new homes for people who really need them. It keeps me proud of everything we do in the construction industry!”
Glyn Williams
Project Manager, Wates Construction
LABC Warranty works in partnership with Local Authority Building Control (LABC), providing structural warranties and building control for new-build and newly-converted buildings across England and Wales through a combined network of more than 3,500 surveyors.
Site managers are nominated for the Site Manager Awards by LABC Warranty’s local risk surveyors. Covering as many as 3,000 sites a year, surveyors only nominate a small number of site managers from regions across England and Wales, making the award a rare achievement.
Glyn and his team, sub-contractors and support teams are so committed to this project and it really shows. The structure they have in place on site is excellent and the sense of pride in the quality they are delivering is outstanding and deserving of an LABC Warranty Site Manager of the Year award.”

North Wales Surveyor for LABC Warranty
This is a wonderful achievement, and I am absolutely delighted for Glyn and his team at Mostyn. Here at Wates we take great pride in the quality of our work, something that is only achievable thanks to our values and the commitment, passion and professionalism of our construction teams.”
Dan Poole
Project Director, Wates Construction
I am delighted for Glyn and his site team, he is a worthy winner. Site managers make an essential contribution to the construction sector despite the challenges posed by labour and materials shortages. The standard of construction across the board has once again been excellent, so it’s a privilege to recognise site managers for their contributions to that.”
