Paddy Malone – Site Manager, Castle Square

About the Site Manager

If the NHBC awards are the Oscars of the housing industry – then Mactaggart & Mickel’s Site Manager Paddy Malone clearly deserves the Lifetime Achievement Honour – having won his fourth NHBC Award in three years!

Paddy, 43, from Ayrshire won the top accolade in the building trade last November, the NHBC Supreme Award (Medium Build Category) for the UK, for the Company’s Castle Square development in Greenan, Ayrshire. He also achieved the NHBC Best Site in Scotland (Medium Category) for this development. Again, Paddy’s commitment at Castle Square has secured his latest NHBC ‘Pride in the Job’ Quality award.

A long serving member of staff with more than 26 years at Mactaggart & Mickel, Paddy first won a ‘Pride in the Job’ Quality award in 1999 for the company’s Barassie Links development in Troon and a year later he achieved this at Montfode Estate, Ardrossan – he also secured a Seal of Excellence for this site.

Paddy said: “ I can’t quite believe that I have won an NHBC award again. Last year when I won I said the NHBC nominations and awards are a reflection of the commitment of a whole team, not just one person – and I cannot stress this enough. I raise my hard hat to all my colleagues at Castle Square and congratulate them on their achievement.”

Married to Moira, with two grown up children, Paddy and his wife live at Mactaggart & Mickel’s Castle View development in Greenan. The Site Manager started with the company aged only 17 as an apprentice joiner before being promoted to Site Manager 14 years ago – a role he currently carries out at the company’s The Grange development at Perceton near Irvine.

About the development

Castle Square provided a mix of two, three and four-bedroom properties and situated in close proximity to the picturesque town of Ayr. The development is well served by motorway links, the M77 and M78, providing easy access to Glasgow and Kilmarnock. The Grange, the site Paddy currently manages, offers a mix of four and five-bedroom detached villas, and spacious three-bedroom detached bungalows with conservatory and garage. Each of the properties benefits from substantial plot sizes. Prices range from £132,995.
