Any suggestions would be helpfull.

If you are going to plant beech into your hedge, use slightly larger beech hedge plants. (not the one year onld ones). Hawthorn hedges have greedy root systems, and your will want to buy bare root beech hedge plants that have well developed root systems. At least 2 years old and better 3.
Good luck
