Beacon News

As February comes to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on what’s been a busy and productive start to the year. Next Monday, March 3rd, marks Beacon’s 22nd anniversary—a milestone made possible by our incredible team and valued clients. I'm truly thankful for the great work our growing team is doing for our clients across the U.S. Check out this month's Beacon E-news for some highlights:

Project Spotlight - We’re proud to be supporting the completion of a 350,000-square-foot military facility in Newport News, VA. Led by Jim Bruno and John Richmond, our team is assisting a leading surety with project oversight, monitoring, and related construction consulting services. The surety's bonded subcontractor is currently finishing up the installation of metal wall panels, translucent panels, louvers, and aluminum composite materials across three large buildings—including an operations/administration building and two massive aircraft hangars.

Team Member Profile - This month, we’re shining a light on Mike Yeung, a key member of our NYC consulting team since 2019. With a strong financial background and sharp analytical skills, Mike plays a critical role in tackling complex project challenges. Mike's dedication to delivering outstanding service to our clients exemplifies the high standards we strive for at Beacon.

Industry Insights - Don’t miss an insightful article from our VP, Kieran O’Connor, on five common reasons construction projects get derailed—and how to address or avoid them. It’s a good article for anyone looking to learn more about mitigating risks and staying ahead of potential challenges.

Upcoming Industry Events - I hope to connect with you at one of these upcoming events:

• Philadelphia Surety Claims Association Luncheon – 4/16/25 (King of Prussia, PA)
• ABA FSLC Spring Surety Conference – 5/21/25-5/23/25 (Isle of Palms, SC)
