Forde George has become the latest company to be included in the IHBC’s conservation service HESPR listing (hespr.ihbc.org.uk), joining heritage businesses from across the UK that benefit from the IHBC’s quality assurance, networks and support services for commercially conscious quality conservation services.
Forde George is based in Exeter and operates largely throughout the South West of England, providing specialist historic building survey, repair, reconstruction and architectural advice to both small private and larger corporate clients. The company has dealt with numerous Grade II to Grade I properties, ranging from small vernacular cottages to high profile internationally important country houses and estates.
David George, Forde George IHBC Accredited Director and HESPR DSA for the company said: ‘It’s hugely rewarding to be part of the HESPR scheme, which we hope will provide Forde George with new and exciting opportunities and challenges’.
Fiona Newton, IHBC Operations Director said: ‘HESPR is not only a register underpinned by the IHBC’s conservation standards, but a source of consultants backed by the quality assurance of full professional membership of the UK’s specialist built and historic environment conservation body.’
‘We are delighted that Forde George has seen how they can benefit from the HESPR listing and maintain and promote their conservation credentials with the quality assurance HESPR listing provides through the employment a Full IHBC member – the ‘Designated Service Adviser’ (DSA) – in a role that allows them to take professional responsibility for the service standards offered to clients.’
