"I am delighted that McCormick Brae has been chosen for the NHBC Pride in the Job award this year. I am only a small part of this team and I would like to give a special mention to the rest of the team who have shown a lot of skill and hard work."

Patton Homes Director John Montgomery said: "We are once again pleased to have been recognised in the competition which, for us, reinforces the quality for which we continually strive and we are delighted that David has once again been selected for this accolade."

David was also presented with the Award in 2008 for a development of luxury apartments in Bath Terrace, Portrush.

Ballymena based, Patton Homes has a proud record of achievement in 'Pride in the Job’' having won at least one award each year in 30 of the 31 annual competition awards.

NHBC's competition is the most highly esteemed contest of its kind in the house building industry.
