Rising Star From Lovell Wins Women In Construction Award

Construction News Image
Management trainee Amanda Hooey from London has won Best Apprentice/New Starter of the Year in the national Women in Construction Awards 2011.

The 24-year-old took the top spot in the under-25 category at the awards which celebrate the achievements of women in a traditionally male-dominated sector.

Amanda has worked with Lovell since 2004, completing a bricklaying apprenticeship with the company, gaining NVQ Level 2 and 3 qualifications. She was then promoted to Lovell’s management trainee scheme which has seen her working on major construction projects in London and the south East, including a large-scale housing development which Lovell built at the Yallops Yard site in Bow. She is currently part of the Lovell team working on a housing refurbishment programme in Islington. Having completed her BTEC National Award and BTEC Certificate, she is now studying for an HNC qualification in construction.

"She has real talent and we are delighted to have helped her develop her career as part of our team. Amanda has impressed everyone she has worked with throughout her apprenticeship and in her role as a management trainee."

Amanda was presented with her trophy at a special awards dinner in Manchester.
