Building firm Beard is bucking the trend in the construction industry after unveiling record results.
The company, based at Cumnor Hill, Oxford, saw its pre-tax profit more than double in 2011 to £1.073m, compared to £464,000 in the previous year.
Managing director Mark Beard said: “Understanding the changing climate, adapting quickly with streamlined processes and maintaining an enthusiastic workforce are helping us to succeed.
“Above all it’s about delivering projects to a much higher standard and doing the basics really well.”
Over the last year the company, which employs 74 staff at Cumnor Hill, won major contracts with Woodstock-based medical instruments manufacturer Owen Mumford, student accommodation in St Ebbe’s, Oxford and restoration work at University Church of St Mary the Virgin on Oxford’s High Street.
