The IHBC’s heritage business register HESPR – our Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition quality assurance service – emails members our ‘News and Tender Alerts’, and this occasional sample listing for NewsBlog readers looks back to a week in November 2023.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘Our weekly HESPR listing of tenders and opportunities are wide-ranging in practice and in scope. They also directly reflect the current state of commercial and related opportunities that, like the stock market, goes down as well as up.’
‘As this has been a quiet week, for anyone not already aware of the huge opportunities our research and monitoring offers to HESPR members, this sample listing should encourage you to look again at the value of HESPR, whether to find new work as a practicing member, or to send free alerts on work opportunities to our leading network for free.’
