Lovell launches refurbishment arm for central England
Written by admin on December 13, 2025
Lovell has established a dedicated refurbishment and retrofit business for central England, as it seeks to scale its planned works and retrofit services across the region.
Lovell Renew Central will launch in January and cover the Midlands, East Midlands and East Anglia.
It will consolidate the company’s existing planned works, refurbishment and retrofit teams into a single regional unit.
The operation will be led by Carl Yale, who has been appointed regional managing director.
Yale joined Lovell in 1998 as a management trainee and has since delivered major refurbishment programmes across Central England.
He also sits on the board of the Sustainable Housing Action Partnership.
Renew Central will operate alongside Lovell Renew North, which covers the North of England, and will work with councils and housing providers to improve housing quality and energy performance.
Lovell said its teams would focus on planned maintenance, high-rise refurbishment and retrofit schemes aimed at tackling fuel poverty and building safety concerns.
Earlier this year, Lovell Renew became the first organisation to secure TPAS accreditation under updated contractor engagement standards, recognising its approach to resident engagement and customer care.
Yale said the new division would allow Lovell to focus solely on refurbishment work in the region.
“With a wealth of experience and a dedicated team driven by strong values and a supportive culture, Lovell Renew will showcase our capabilities through a refurbishment-focused leadership team,” he said.
David Gough, Lovell managing director of operations and commercial, said: “Housing providers are dealing with significant pressures around safety, compliance and decarbonisation, and this dedicated unit helps us respond with the focus and capacity they need.”
Renew Central will be staffed by around 90 specialists.
