Independent housebuilder Banner Homes was awarded Bronze in the Best Medium Housebuilder category at the 2010 What House? Awards.

Judges said the company offers “breadth of product and value for money of the volume housebuilders, while matching, or surpassing, the design, customer care and attention to detail of the smaller niche developers.”

They also praised Banner Homes for its “an impressive product range with design flair, from apartments to luxury homes. Banner has embraced both new technology in the home and the imperative for energy efficiency. It prides itself on its planning team and public consultation at the earliest opportunity to win hearts and minds locally before building out the quality promised on the drawing board.”

Piers Banfield, of Banner Homes, said: “We are delighted to receive this award. It is very important to us to achieve recognition from our peers in the industry.”
