2020 has certainly been a year like no other. Amongst the uncertainty, we're proud of what we've achieved and once again our commitment has been recognised through numerous awards such as being named Housebuilder's best large housebuilder for the second year in a row and winning no fewer than 92 Pride In the Job Quality awards. Our employees have compassionately led the way by volunteering in local communities and inspired by this, we took it upon ourselves to invest in our charity partnerships, give a big thank you to NHS workers and return the furlough money we have borrowed. Thank you to all of our employees, partners and customers for helping us keep one step ahead.
On behalf of everyone at Barratt, we'd like to wish you all a happy Christmas. Thank you for your continued interest in what we do here at Barratt and we look forward to hearing from you in the new year.
