improvement in occupational health and safety management. Organisations that
gain recognition for the health and safety management systems, such as Lovell's
North West and North Wales region, contribute to raising standards overall and
we congratulate them."

the sustained expertise and hard work of our health and safety team, our staff
and our subcontractor partners. Ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone
who works with us as well of local people in the communities where we undertake
projects is of the utmost importance to the company."
