Lovell's Eastern region is celebrating success after winning the prestigious Environment Award at this year's Commited to Construction in the East Midlands awards ceremony, hosted by the Chartered Institute of Building.

The region impressed judges with its Sustainable Policy Framework which enables the company to cut waste, energy use and its carbon footprint.

Lovell's Eastern region is the first of the Lovell regions to win a Committed to the Environment Award and Noel Adams, Lovell regional director, says: "The award is testament to the hard work and motivation of the team to create a more environmentally considerate way of working.

"Lovell has always placed great focus on its commitment to the environment and this recognition highlights the stringent regulations and targets we have set ourselves.
