Beard beefs up Swindon's Property Services team

Beard is boosting its Property Services team to cope with growing demand for repair, maintenance and improvement works across the South West.  The firm has appointed Colin Latimer, an experienced construction industry professional, to head up and expand its Property Services business.

Colin brings additional expertise and local knowledge to support customers looking for professional, high quality property solutions.  His talent and skills will be invaluable in enhancing the delivery of projects across the South West. In addition, Colin will co-ordinate work across a number of minor works framework agreements including Gloucestershire County Council, West Berkshire Council and the National House Building Council as well as smaller projects on various MoD bases.

The team is already seeing improved results with a range of new and varied projects including internal refurbishment and alterations at St Martin’s Precinct in Reading; alterations to improve boarding accommodation at Horris Hill School near Newbury and a refurbishment project at the Royal Military College of Science, Shrivenham.
 
Marc Bayley, Beard Construction director said: “Day-to-day maintenance and improvements are vital to the ongoing usefulness of public and commercial buildings and it is essential that maintenance and repairs are planned for in advance. The team complements other construction activities; providing a range of services from planned maintenance and repairs to small scale alterations, improvements and advising customers on how to achieve cost effective solutions for their maintenance requirements.  It is an important part of Beard’s overall customer service.”
