Construction firm Beard saw its turnover rose above pre-pandemic levels, as it benefited from a “release of pent-up demand” from the previous two years.
The 130-year-old business, which is headquartered in Swindon, raked in £165m as it completed 45 projects throughout last year. This was up from £144m in its previous financial year and also above the £158m recorded pre-Covid in 2019.
Pre-tax profits slipped back to £3.5m from £4.2m in 2021, further down on 2019’s figure of £4.4m.
