Our Partnership with Constructionline

Beardwell’s strength lies in our supply chain. At Beardwell, we recognise the importance of having a consistent approach to our suppliers, which starts with our pre-qualification and accreditation process. To enable this to happen we have chosen Constructionline as a vehicle to deliver our pre-qualification requirements.

Our wish is that all our suppliers achieve Silver membership or above (or Bronze for those with a turnover of <£350k). We look forward to starting our journey with you.
