- Actively support the health & wellbeing of our colleagues and supply chain partners.
Our Approach
Beard Touchpoint
From school talks and teacher encounters to participating in the industry’s Open Doors event, every engagement with a young person is a touchpoint to ignite their interest in the built environment.
Beard Inspire
Ensuring that our business has access to the future talent we need, and that young people have the skills for future employment, is essential.
Meaningful work experience, taster sessions, placements and apprenticeships are vital to empower young people to make the right career choices, develop work skills, gain nationally recognised qualifications, grow their confidence and build their careers.
