Project Management

Expert support for heritage projects from planning to delivery

I provide professional project management for heritage projects, drawing on my extensive experience in the sector. This includes managing a National Lottery Heritage Fund project, working with the National Trust, and supporting owners of historic houses and estates. My research background means I bring authoritative historical insight to every project, ensuring that conservation, interpretation, and engagement are always grounded in rigorous scholarship.

My approach is tailored to the unique challenges of heritage projects, including navigating planning and Listed Building Consent requirements, coordinating contractors and consultants, managing budgets, and overseeing conservation-sensitive works. I ensure every aspect of a project is carefully planned, monitored, and delivered, helping you avoid pitfalls while maximising community engagement and impact.

Whether your project involves conserving a listed building, interpreting a historic site, or delivering local heritage initiatives, I provide structured support to achieve meaningful outcomes. By combining my practical project management skills with a deep understanding of heritage and extensive historical knowledge, I help projects benefit communities, protect heritage assets, and create lasting value.
