We are thrilled to be involved in this build, and look forward to seeing it as it emerges from this ground-breaking event. It\u2019s a great opportunity to utilise our expertise and experience in building high-quality, specialist healthcare facilities across the region and further afield.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sarah Church, Chief Executive of Phyllis Tuckwell, added: \u201cAround 17,000 people had been cared for on our In-Patient Unit, let alone the many thousands of others cared for at home, since the hospice was launched. As demand increases, this new chapter in our history means we will be able to care for many more thousands of local residents who will need us in the years to come. Given Beard\u2019s reputation and experience in the sector, they are a tremendous fit to build our brand-new hospice.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Main contractor Beard Construction has broken ground on a new 3,700m2 hospice in Farnham in Surrey.
