Connection, collaboration and competition were on the agenda at our wellbeing day in Wrington Warren earlier this week 🌲

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week, colleagues were invited to enjoy time in nature and take part in adrenaline-fuelled paintballing sessions or a relaxing woodland walk, as well as axe-throwing, archery and other games 🎯

Teams across the business have also been marking Mental Health Awareness Week in great ways 💚

From Wear it Green in Swindon and a fun sports day at Spectrum House, to a Bristol walking competition, there’s been plenty of activity. Colleagues also completed an inspiring 18 mile walk in Southampton, raising funds for Naomi House & Jacksplace.

Great to see everyone coming together to support mental health and wellbeing 👏

Small but mighty 💪🔬🧬

That’s the perfect way to describe our special works team’s recent refurbishment of the University of Oxford's cancer research laboratory in the Radiobiology Research Institute (RRI) building at Churchill Hospital, Headington.

While modest in scale, the project will make a real difference thanks to the important research carried out there.

“The benefits that smaller jobs can provide to the end user are huge,” said Project Manager James Tombs.

"Cancer research opens up a whole new world of information that we can all benefit from."

A fantastic effort from the team to deliver work that will have a lasting impact.

We love to end the working week with something to celebrate! 🙌

Multiple Beard projects scooped Bronze at the Considerate Constructors Scheme National Site Awards 2026, in recognition of their respect for the public, the workforce, and the environment.

🏆 Stonehenge Learning Centre
🏆 VIVO Buckley Barracks Hangar 3
🏆 One Friary, Bristol
🏆 Sydenham High School
🏆 University of Wi******er MRL Refurbishment
🏆 Wadswick Green

The site team at Sydenham High School (pictured below) has been creating a new three storey classroom block and bridge. During this project, groups of students have been invited to tour the site regularly as the build progresses.

We're so proud to see our regional teams recognised for their commitment to responsibility, transparency and consistent excellence.

Protecting a Grade I listed campus while delivering major structural works takes care and precision at every stage 🏗🤝

Charlie Gosling, Assistant Site Manager at Beard, shares an update from St Catherine's College, Oxford where the team is removing RAAC and replacing the roof with a new cold-rolled steel structure.

Designed by renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen in the 1960s, the college is an iconic example of modernist architecture, so safeguarding its unique character has been central to the project throughout.

👏 Work is progressing apace at the Newton building, the third and final phase of the science schemes at Marlborough College.

The internal transformation is nearing completion, with plastering, decoration and underfloor heating complete - and even some of the laboratory furniture now in place! 🧪

Outside, scaffold is down, windows have been renewed, and concrete repaired. Hard landscaping is well underway and the rooftop turret, which provides natural ventilation for the lecture theatre, has been refurbished and redecorated.

As a live environment, works have been carefully programmed to minimise disruption to students and staff in neighbouring spaces.

Project Manager Harry Crockford walks us around the site.
