Ken Beard & Son Ltd is proud to be recognised at both industry and national level for innovation, leadership, and the way we deliver projects within the construction sector.

We have been shortlisted for Company Innovation of the Year at the Construction News Awards 2026 — one of the most respected awards in the UK construction industry. This nomination recognises our work in applying organisational psychology within a trade-led business, improving how projects are managed, how teams operate, and how consistent standards are delivered across every installation.

Our work has also been recognised by the Association for Business Psychology, where we have been named finalists in two categories: Best In-House Business Psychology Team or Practitioner, and Excellence in Organisational Change & Transformation. These nominations reflect the structured, evidence-based approach we have introduced into the business — something rarely seen within the construction and home improvement sector.
 

In addition, Sarah Brislen, Business Manager at Ken Beard & Son Ltd, has been recognised by CITB as a “One to Watch” in the Top 100 Most Influential Women in Construction, highlighting the role of leadership, innovation, and forward-thinking approaches in shaping the future of the industry.

These recognitions reflect how we operate day to day. Our approach focuses on clear communication, structured planning, consistent workmanship, and strong team accountability. This ensures our customers receive a service that is organised, professional, and built on doing things properly.
 

As a BIFIS registered installer, TrustMark accredited, and Trading Standards Approved company, we have always prioritised quality, compliance, and long-term reliability. These award nominations reinforce that commitment — recognising not just the spaces we create, but the systems and standards behind them.

To be recognised alongside major national organisations is a significant milestone, particularly as a long-established, family-run business serving Wirral, Liverpool, and Chester. It reflects the progress we have made in raising standards within the industry and where we are continuing to go.

If you are planning a bathroom or kitchen renovation, choosing a company recognised for both quality and how it delivers projects can make all the difference.
