Congratulations to Colin Wright, Construction Director of our housebuilding company Peveril Homes, who has been given the prestigious Chairman’s Award at the East Midlands’ 2020 LABC Building Excellence Awards. Colin has been recognised for his 45 years of industry service – 33 of them with the Bowmer + Kirkland Group. He joined Peveril Homes in 1987 and has been instrumental in the business maintaining its high quality  building standards over the past three decades. He has always occupied construction-focused roles at Peveril Homes and very quickly gained a reputation for consistency and a dedication to quality. His strong work ethic and likable approach saw him promoted through the company, eventually becoming the company’s Director responsible for construction. Colin has consistently set high standards for how Peveril Homes should conduct itself on site, working with site managers, partners and suppliers to ensure that health and safety and methods of construction hit the highest standards across all the firm’s Midlands developments. The Peveril Homes' team is preparing to bid a fond farewell to Colin after he recently announced his decision to retire in early 2021. Peveril Homes’ Director, James Smith, explained the award-win is no more than Colin deserves. “Colin epitomises all that is great about Peveril Homes. His professionalism, dedication and commitment to quality has really set the business apart from its competitors over the years as a name recognised for building quality homes in desirable locations. “Colin has, without a doubt, created a legacy at Peveril Homes and he is thoroughly deserving of this recognition at the 2020 East Midlands LABC Building Excellence Awards. On behalf of the entire team, we wish him many congratulations for a fantastic achievement.” The LABC network is the largest building control provider in England and Wales and the LABC Building Excellence Awards celebrate and recognise well-built, unique and exceptionally designed properties, precise specification, highly-skilled construction and the individuals behind it.
