Alison Cox has been appointed as a non-executive director at Beard<\/a>, where she will drive excellence in design management<\/h2>\n

Alison Cox brings more than two decades of knowledge and experience from across the construction sector to her new role as non-executive director.<\/p>\n

She is best known for her time at Sir Robert McAlpine, having been an engineer, project manager and managing director. Alison currently serves as the domestic bursar (operations director) for St John\u2019s College, a constituent college of the University of Cambridge.<\/p>\n

She is also a Chartered Civil Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution of Civil Engineers and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Building.<\/p>\n

Alison will utilise her vast expertise in delivering technically complex schemes, with a particular focus on design management across a variety of sectors.<\/p>\n

She succeeds Chad Murrin, who stepped down at the end of 2023<\/h3>\n

Alison’s appointment extends Beard\u2019s commitment to supplementing its board with non-executive positions, to drive continuous improvement, challenge ideas and bring a fresh perspective.<\/p>\n

As part of her role, Alison will attend all Beard and Beard Holdings board meetings and join the remuneration and appointments committee.<\/p>\n

Mark Beard, chairman of Beard, said: \u201cWe find huge value in strengthening our board with outside perspectives. Not only does Alison bring needed diversity to our board, she brings a genuine diversity of thought and skills. Her extensive background and expertise across construction and her ability to challenge the status quo are incredibly important as we expand our regional footprint and secure projects in new sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n

The appointment follows regional office expansions on the south coast<\/h3>\n

Alison Cox added: \u201c2024 promises to be another busy year for Beard with the opening of a fifth regional office on the south coast<\/a> and work starting on a number of high-profile projects across the business. Beard\u2019s people-focussed approach strongly aligns with my personal values, and the opportunity to join the board and collaborate with the talented team is one I relish. I look forward to using my skills to support and enhance technical excellence across the business.\u201d<\/p>\n
