IHBC member Roz Artis-Young, and Scottish Lime Centre Trust (SLCT) Director, reports the strengthening of operations there in response to the success of its conservation service:
‘I am writing to you to tell you of the very positive changes being made at The Scottish Lime Centre Trust (SLCT). You will be pleased to hear that the SLCT have been bucking the down-turn in the construction sector. The increased demand for our focused building advisory and training services has required me to move to a newly created post of Technical Director. This will allow me to concentrate on meeting the increasing demand in these areas.
You will know that I am committed to ensuring the continued delivery of the SLCT’s highly valued products and services and developing new ones to meet market demands. The SLCT’s unique vocational training facility at Merryhill, Charlestown, and its in-house laboratory in support of the building advisory work, combine to offer contractors, homeowners, building professionals and learners an unrivalled opportunity to acquire skills, knowledge and independent advice.
Stuart Beattie, who has been involved as a business advisor to the SLCT for some time, will take up the new post of Managing Director to oversee all aspects of moving the SLCT forward and to focus on the business. Stuart will ensure core services are maintained alongside staff development. He will also forge new grant funded partnerships to ensure the SLCT maintains its status as Scotland’s first point of contact for any problems or concerns over build quality, whether refurbishment, repair, maintenance, restoration, conservation or indeed new construction.
Both Stuart and I will be in our new posts by the end of April 2010. We look forward to continuing to meet the needs of you and our colleagues.’
