As part of the contract, Lovell will also appoint one new apprentice for every £1m generated in turnover.

David Gough, regional director of Lovell, said: "We have enjoyed working with Daventry & District Housing for some time and hope we have improved the lives of thousands of residents over the last few years. We’re really pleased to have been chosen to continue that work. We are also delighted to be able to begin work with Rockingham Forest Housing Association and offer them the same combination of high-quality products and service at a price that really maximises their resources. We look forward to meeting their residents and transforming their homes."
