He has worked with other record producers: Andrew Farriss, Tony Cohen, Kevin Shirley and Nick Launay.

In 2006 Lovell was appointed as a mentor in the Qantas 'Spirit of Youth Awards'. Lovell has mixed Jed Kurzel's soundtrack for the 2011 feature film, Snowtown.

Outside of his music career, Lovell was the founder and CEO of Lovell's Lager a beer brewery based in Sydney since 2005. Roger Grierson (of the Thought Criminals) recommended it, "It's on tap at the Annandale. Excellent. If you're at the Annandale, buy some." Back of the Ferry's website reviewer described the beer "there is something just not right with this beer (to my taste). The first swallow is inoffensive, but there is an aftertaste that is reminiscent of stale beer lines that I couldn’t get over. It really was a struggle to get the last drop down." Chris Joannou of Silverchair became his partner in the brewery, but by February 2014 the business was "currently on hold." Lovell now co-owns and operates a Korean Fried Chicken restaurant, in Newcastle, Australia. The restaurant, named Wu-cha, is owned by Paula Birch, Lovell and Harry Callinan. According to Lovell “It’s all about the really punchy flavours and bright colours” with the chicken being cooked fresh and the sauces made from scratch.
