Our new Head of People and Communications

We're delighted to have appointed Melissa Barber to the newly created role of Head of People and Communications.

The position will bring together employee and customer experiences and provide a connection with the vision and values of the company.

A professionally qualified marketer with over 15 years’ experience in the construction and housing sectors, Melissa takes on the role after working for two years as Head of Communications at Beard. She is also a Board member at Elim Housing Association, which owns and manages around 800 homes in the South West of England and South Wales.

Beard recognises the importance of people, be that internally or externally. The creation of the new role of Head of People and Communications underlines this focus, and brings together and leads on the employee lifecycle and the customer journey. The aim is to drive and embed the organisation’s vision and values to reinforce and to build brand awareness internally and externally. I’ll also be focusing upon company culture and wellbeing, which has always been of importance within Beard but has gained further significance as a result of the pandemic.
