Lovell health and safety advisor Holly Baker discusses how her passion for people was the perfect foundation for a fulfilling career in the construction sector.
You might not expect that a degree in psychology could be a prerequisite for a rewarding career in construction, but that is precisely how health and safety advisor Holly Baker set out on her professional trajectory.
“I want to help people,” Holly admits. “Construction gives me a chance to make a real difference to people’s lives.”

Construction came together to work through previous lockdowns, we must continue to work together to find solutions says Build UK’s Suzannah Nichol
There is no doubt that 2020 was a tough year. But as the CEO of one of Build UK’s members said: “Construction has been one of the heroes of this crisis”.
I am so proud of the way we pulled together as a sector and worked collaboratively like never before. Our members rose to a whole host of challenges and kept working to deliver when the country needed us most.
It is reassuring that government has recognised the value of construction and now sees us as a critical partner in the economic recovery from covid-19. The government’s significant investment in the infrastructure pipeline, combined with its commitment to the construction playbook and project speed, reflect that we are central to its strategy.
