Beard crowned Construction Firm of the Year at South West Property Awards 2025

At a glittering black tie event last week, team members took to the stage as they were presented with the 'Construction Firm of the Year' award by Marie-Claire Overton of Vattenfall.


Beard submitted three "varied and complex projects" that showed our prowess across sectors. Judges admired the social and environmental impacts of the builds, as well as the way we bring people along with our work through community engagement.


The evening was a celebration of the best of the South West: the myriad teams, people and businesses that have designed, funded, constructed and managed the built environment in the region. We're delighted to have won in a category with some seriously stiff competition.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to have been recognised as Construction Firm of the Year at the Insider South West Property Awards. It’s a testament to the dedication, skill and teamwork of everyone at Beard, and to the strong partnerships we've built with clients, suppliers and local communities.

“This recognition celebrates the practical way our values - safety, integrity, ambition, and sustainability - shape every project we deliver. We're hugely proud of this achievement, and inspired to continue raising the bar across the South West.”

Jamie Harwood, Director & Company Safety Director, Swindon

This award is a fantastic recognition of Beard's people - their skill, dedication, and commitment to doing things the right way. A huge thank you to our incredible teams, trusted partners, clients, and communities across the South West for enabling us to keep raising the bar.
