(regarding Barrie Beard's recent Olympic contract)

 
"Gents 
I will be signing off shortly and would like
to say farewell & I hope that you all have
success in the future.  Before I go may I just
point out a little diamond in the rough.  I have
worked for many major contractors over the
years and the one common theme has been
the continuous battle with the M&E Contractor
However, with Barrie Beard Ltd this was never
the case.  They became involved from the
outset, took on design responsibilities which
they had no contractual obligation to provide,
and generally had a 'can do' attitude to all
situations.  Their approach was at all times
professional, with constant dialogue.  When
their access dates were passed without
them being able to commence they insisted
on this being made a matter of record, not to
then request acceleration costs, but purely so
that everyone was aware that they were not to
blame.  They finished all their works within set
timescales and to a standard above what the
client thought they would be offered for a
temporary structure.  Service contractors
with their attitude are few and far between,
you would do well not to lose them.
