We were privileged to host Peter Apps, journalist and author of Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen, in Swindon this week where he delivered insights on building safety from the Grenfell Tower enquiry.
To a room of some 100 Beard colleagues and consultants, Peter shared a compelling overview of the complex network of decisions that led to the tragic events of 14 June 2017, as detailed in his book.
Having followed and reported on the Grenfell enquiry in great detail, Peter’s learnings and observations gave us moment to pause and reflect on how each decision we make forms part of a much greater picture.

Peter’s presentation to our colleagues was a call to action. His words looked to inspire us as a collective industry to focus on how we can continue to make ethical, informed and robust decisions in day to day practice.
At Beard, we’re committed to upskilling our team and ensuring best practice in all areas of our operations and delivery. He encouraged us to challenge approaches to work, continually learn and improve, and take great pride in the industry in which we work.
