Martin will now go through to the national Grand Finals at the Westminster Park Plaza in London in November.

Speaking after the event, Redrow construction director for Lancashire, Keith Collard, said: “Commitment and striving for the very best is part of the ethos that underpins everything we do at Redrow, from the moment we begin planning and building a home to the moment a person turns the key in their door.

“Crucial to that is our site managers, people like Martin, who carry that principle through at site level.

“It is because of him and our other site managers that we can offer people the quality of homes we do and of which we are rightly proud.
