David McDonald said: ‘I am sure we were all inspired by Griff’s insightful and personal review of heritage aspirations and complexities in the 21st Century.’

‘Griff led IHBC members from today’s pandemic-challenged world of heritage, place and environmental care right back to core values that underpin what conservation is all about, while also reminding us how difficult it can be.’

‘In particular, Griff offered a broad statement of practical issues that the IHBC must take on board as we move forward, with new Articles, aspirations and ambitions, from our role as secretariat to the new All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on ‘Conservation Places and People’ (CPP APPG) to the challenges of embedding our new Articles of Association, and the modernisation of our governance’.

IHBC Director Sean O’Reilly said: ‘We were delighted also to have trustee Sanne Roberts introduce the 2021 IHBC Annual School in Brighton, as IHBC trustee and Chair of the host South East Branch, with Douglas Campbell outlining the Aberdeen School, planned for 2022.’

‘Both Schools will include our new School Heritage MarketPlace, which will offer CPD-led opportunities for heritage services, suppliers, trainers and advocates to engage with School delegates and networks through virtual ‘Stalls’.

‘Our low-cost fees for both School delegates, networks and stallholders will ensure that all involved will get the best possible value from our Heritage MarketPlace, as delegates, clients, suppliers, services or advocates.
