Lovell has appointed John East as commercial manager for East Anglia.

He joins Lovell from the company's sister firm, construction business Morgan Sindall where he held the same position. Based in the Norwich regional office, he is responsible for all commercial, financial and legal aspects of the business in the region drawing on extensive experience in both the public and private sector including expertise in design-and-build, contracting, maintenance and refurbishment.


"The Powerminster Gleeson and Connaught acquisitions have given Lovell unrivalled capability across the affordable sector allowing us to offer our partners a comprehensive range of services in new-build and regeneration as well as response and planned maintenance," said John. "It's therefore a hugely exciting time at which to have joined the company."

Lovell has appointed Peter Graves, previously commercial manager in East Anglia, as the company’s business development manager in the region. He will drive the generation of new business opportunities in both new-build and maintenance, working collaboratively with local authorities and housing associations to develop innovative and value-for-money housing solutions. A particular focus will be the development of low-carbon techniques for housing refurbishment.
