AN Altrincham-based affordable housing developer has gained a safety award.

Lovell has been presented with a gold medal for outstanding safety performance by national safety charity the Royal Society for The Prevention of Accidents in a ceremony at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole Hotel.

The medal marks Lovell’s achievements of consecutive RoSPA Gold Awards over the past six years for the exceptional health and safety management system at its site offices and developments across the north west and North Wales.

RoSPA awards manager, David Rawlins, said: “The RoSPA awards encourage the raising of occupational health and safety standards across the board.

“Organisations such as Lovell contribute to a collective raising of the bar for other organisations to aspire to and we offer them our congratulations.”

Lovell regional director Nigel Yates said: “This award recognises the dedication of the company’s health and safety professionals, site teams, staff and subcontractor partners to maintaining the very highest safety standards across all our developments.”
