WhatHouse? announces the winners of UK housebuilding’s most coveted awards
London, UK (PRWEB UK) 18 November 2016 -- Privately owned and family run Churchill Retirement Living has been named the WhatHouse? Housebuilder of the Year at today’s Gala Luncheon at the Grosvenor House Hotel in Park Lane.
Former Leader of the Conservative party, UK Foreign Secretary and Leader of the House of Commons, the Right Honourable Lord William Hague presented the prize at the climax of the event, the largest and most prestigious awards event in UK housebuilding, now in its 35th year.
Housebuilder of the Year wasn’t the only accolade picked up by Churchill at this year’s WhatHouse? Awards, taking two additional winners’ plaques to its Ringwood headquarters: one Gold (Best Medium Housebuilder) and one Silver (Best Retirement Development).
Churchill Retirement Living is the first retirement developer to win the most coveted prize in the new homes industry. The business was founded by brothers Spencer and Clinton McCarthy - sons of John McCarthy, founder of McCarthy & Stone, who is a non-executive director of Churchill.
Berkeley Group won Best Large Housebuilder, Spitfire Bespoke Homes took home Best Small Housebuilder, Trivselhus by Esh scooped Sustainable Developer of the Year and Network Homes was named Housing Association of the Year at today’s event.
The WhatHouse? Awards is year-on-year the biggest event in the housebuilding industry with 1,700 senior figures from the new homes industry attending the Gala Luncheon in the five-star hotel’s Great Room.
“It’s the day the new homes flag flies highest,” said Rupert Bates, host of the Awards and editorial director of new homes portal Whathouse.com. “The standards achieved by the winners get more impressive every year, and our panel of independent judges had to work hard to pick the very best from hundreds of entries.
“We would like to thank all the housebuilders, suppliers and other industry colleagues who have once again supported this great event. Special thanks to the Awards sponsors and judges and congratulations to the winners and everyone who entered and attended today’s ceremony.”
