CAREY BEARDMORE HAMILTON

Thank you for your interest in learning more about Beardmore Chevrolet. Our family has been committed to offering our customers more for nearly 100 years. My father, Maurice (Moe) Beardmore, a World War II Veteran and third-generation car dealer, began his automotive career in 1948 in Mankato, Kansas. He eventually operated other dealerships in Oxford, Beatrice, Papillion and Bellevue.

During his long career in this business, Moe was committed to supporting the communities in which he operated. He was active in many organizations including each town's Chamber of Commerce and Rotary Clubs. Moe served as chairman of the Nebraska New Car and Truck Dealers Association, the SAC Museum Board of Directors and on the Bellevue College (now University) Board of Trustees. In 1987, my father received TIME magazine's Quality Dealer Award and in 2016, he was posthumously entered into the Nebraska Business Hall of Fame. The Nebraska Business Hall of Fame recognizes the state's most accomplished business leaders and their contributions to our free enterprise system.

A STRONG CONNECTION TO BELLEVUE UNIVERSITY

My father's long-time support of Bellevue University began in 1978. He served on the Board of Directors from 1988 until his death in 1992 and was a strong advocate for the University in the community. The University's Maurice Y. and Patricia Beardmore Scholarship, named in honor of my parents, is awarded each year to a student pursuing a business-related bachelor's degree. My parents were extremely compassionate people who would rise to the occasion when the need arose. They wanted to help give people a chance to succeed. This scholarship continues their legacy, and I appreciate the University's support in doing that. My Dad saw the important work Bellevue University was doing to make it possible for deployed military personnel to continue their education and assist adult students in realizing their dreams of a college education, knowing the impact it would have on their families. He always made it clear that you give back to the community that supports you. I admire his strong commitment and try to emulate it today by also serving on the Bellevue University Board since 1997. 

My father was a great man with a mission to serve others. My mother was a great supporter and role model as well. I am honored to have the opportunity to extend their legacy of quality, customer service and community commitment

THE STATE'S FIRST AND ONLY GREEN AWARD 

In 2017, Beardmore Chevrolet was the first and only Nebraska Chevrolet dealer to receive the GM Green Dealer Award in recognition of the dealership's success in implementing sustainability actions.

Beardmore Chevrolet installed LED lighting powered by solar panels, uses low-water toilets and sinks and recycles motor oil to heat the building, among other sustainability efforts.

More than 400 dealers are enrolled in the GM Green Dealer program, which means they strive to meet certification requirements. To date just 83 dealers nationwide have received GM Green Dealer Certification. Beardmore Chevrolet is the only one in Nebraska.

"Beardmore Chevrolet is committed to making our community a healthy, happy and sustainable place to live," said owner Carey Beardmore Hamilton. "Being the first GM dealer in Nebraska to earn GM Green Dealer Certification means a lot to the legacy of our business, and to our employees who give their all to make this a great place to work and purchase and service vehicles."

BEARDMORE EVENT CENTER

In 2016, Carey and Brian Hamilton provided the long-term lead gift commitment to fund the development of a new event center on 3750 Raynor Parkway in Bellevue which included naming rights. The Beardmore Conference Center is the largest in eastern Sarpy County at 18,000 square feet. It can hold up to 745 guests for a single event or smaller events simultaneously. The Center is attached to Courtyard by Marriott's 122-room hotel.

FREEDOM DOG PARK 

In 2016, Beardmore opened one of the first dog parks in Sarpy County. Named Freedom Dog Park in honor of those who serve our country, the dog park has enjoyed daily use by citizens in Bellevue, Omaha and surrounding communities. In 2018, Beardmore doubled the size of space for Freedom Dog Park to meet high demand. Many dog groups use the space for meet ups, adoption events and more.
