The IHBC’s heritage business register HESPR – our Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition quality assurance service – emails members weekly ‘News and Tender Alerts’, and the Director’s occasional news listing this month features updates from a single December issue of the Alert.
… news posts we think most relevant to HESPR members and their work…
IHBC Director Seán O’Reiily said: ‘As we collate our tenders and NewsBlogs, we also find lots of HESPR-related content alongside the usual NewsBlog gems and nuggets. So each week we include with our ‘News and Tender Alerts’ a cross-section of those news posts we think most relevant to HESPR members and their work.’
For the last post in December the HESPR ‘News from the sector’ section featured the following (restricted access):
