Countryside has become the housebuilder of choice for the communities planned for the South-East, and this is very likely to pay spectacular dividends in the future.
The Building Awards Judges
Last night (20th April) at the Building Awards, Countryside Properties was named 'Housebuilder of the Year'. The awards which were held at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London were attended by 1,700 people, making it the construction industry's biggest annual event. At the awards the Group was also shortlisted in the 'Construction Best Practice' category for our Training Academy and our Chairman, Alan Cherry was also shortlisted in the 'Personality of the Year' category.
The Group's success at the Building Awards follows the Group being named in 2003 'Housebuilder of the Year' at both the Building Homes Quality Awards and the What House? Awards 2003. This is the first time that the Group has held multiple current 'Housebuilder of the Year' accolades.
The judges said, "Countryside is unique…...because it showed John Prescott the kind of housing he was trying to persuade other firms to build. Here are the Deputy Prime Minister's comments upon seeing its New Hall development in Harlow, Essex. "I think you have got the wow factor here. I'm absolutely delighted ... to be associated with something of quality. I've got a vision now. I've just seen it." Countryside has become the housebuilder of choice for the communities planned for the South-East, and this is very likely to pay spectacular dividends in the future."
