AN award-winning manager at Miller Homes’ Regents Gate development in Crossgates has been personally congratulated for his commitment to developing quality new homes by village MP, Douglas Chapman.

Calum Punton, 48, based at the Fife housing development, met with the MP following his successful Quality Award win at this year’s Pride in the Job awards – beating over 16,000 other entries across the UK to receive one of the building industry’s highest accolades.

As further proof of his commitment and dedication, Calum has received two promotions since receiving the highly coveted award, becoming the Senior Site Manager and, as of this month, a further promotion to Contracts Manager.

Following the visit, Calum said: “It was great to welcome MP Douglas Chapman along to Regent’s Gate. "He kindly wrote me a letter of congratulations when I was awarded the Pride in the Job award, so it was fantastic to meet him and show him around the site.

“I’m thrilled to have received such an established industry award, but it’s truly a group effort and a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the whole Miller Homes team.”

Dunfermline and West Fife MP Douglas Chapman, who also covers Hill of Beath and Moss-side, added: “For Calum to win this award against thousands of other entrants is a fantastic achievement, and it is clear from meeting him that he his passionate about his job.

"Regents Gate is a thriving community in Crossgates, and a great place for families to call home, and I wish Calum and the team continued success in their careers.”

Calum will now progress to the next round of the Pride in the Job awards, taking place at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow this month. In this stage, he will have the opportunity to win the Seal of Excellence accolade, as well as compete against some of the top site managers from across Scotland for the Regional title.

Located in a prime location in east central Scotland, Miller Homes’ Regents Gate at Crossgates provides a great mix of convenient commuter links and charming scenery.
