Praised for her unwavering commitment and drive to succeed, Kim Lawrence, Social Value Manager for Willmott Dixon, is recognised for her efforts on the Lawrence Weston housing scheme to actively promote aspiration and opportunity in one of the highest areas of deprivation in the UK. Going above and beyond expectation, Kim worked with Bristol City Council and Ambition Lawrence Weston, a resident-driven organisation, identifying areas of opportunity to help break unemployment and poverty cycles, whilst simultaneously building public confidence.
