East Anglia - awards

Lovell in East Anglia have been recognised for development excellence on its Sherwell Court development in Norwich.

The plaudit for Lovell recognises the company’s programme of work with college and school students across Norwich to support young people in gaining construction qualifications and work-based experience through initiatives such as site visits, careers-related workshops and other events.

The company’s community training programme has included working with carpentry and bricklaying students at City College in Norwich, providing work experience sessions, tutorial visits where students are helped with job applications and guided site visits. In addition, Lovell has worked closely with the college to support its launch of the new Construction and Built Environment diploma which gives teenagers practical and theoretical skills and helps prepare them for a construction-based career.
