Mrs Yaarun Ahmed and her daughter Mahbuba, are among residents in Bradford celebrating having a warmer, more modern home thanks to a major improvement scheme completed by Lovell for Manningham Housing Association.

The local Lovell team has successfully delivered housing refurbishment works to 208 homes across the Bradford District ahead of schedule.

The £730,000 refurbishment contract has seen Lovell providing residents with new kitchens, bathrooms, windows and doors.

Mrs Ahmed commented: "I am pleased that my kitchen units were done on time and my advice to everyone in my neighbourhood is to look after their kitchen, because the Lovell team has worked very, very hard for us."

James Healy, property and estates manager for Manningham Housing Association, commented: "The Association is committed to improving its stock as part of its investment programme. We received a competitive price from Lovell and we worked well together. The results of the refurbishment works have been a huge success based on positive feedback from our customers."
