Training in the community

Our industry needs new people and it needs skilled people. We believe it is our responsibility not only to recruit and train excellent individuals for our own benefit, but also to leave a legacy of skills, knowledge and employment in every community in which we work.

It is part of our social responsibility to ensure that communities benefit from increased employment and the wider construction industry benefits from new recruits and increased skills.

Lovell is renowned not only for being at the forefront of social housing provision, but also for the high quality of its work. It is by recruiting the right people and showing unrivalled commitment to their training that we can continue to provide such a high quality service.

Our commitment to people development is comprehensive. It starts in schools with our mentoring programme aimed at 14-19 year olds.
