This week we welcomed journalist and author Peter Apps to our Swindon office, where he shared his insights from the Grenfell Tower Inquiry with over 100 Beard colleagues and consultants. Drawing from his powerful book Show Me the Bodies: How We Let Grenfell Happen, Peter presented on the systemic failures that led to the tragedy - and the responsibility within the sector to build better. In the words of our Safety Director Jamie Harwood FCIOB, CEnv: “This session wasn’t about blame. It was about responsibility. About leadership. About the decisions we make every day on site and in our offices.” At Beard, we’re committed to upskilling our teams and ensuring best practice in all areas of operations and delivery. A huge thank you to Peter for giving us the opportunity to pause, reflect and reaffirm our collective commitment to safety, ethics and excellence in everything we do.
