With just a couple of weeks until London’s UK Construction Week (UKCW) – this year co-located with The Stone Show & Hard Surfaces – the event is set to be the biggest and best yet, so the IHBC will be there, with partners from the SPAB, ICON, and our host partners, Historic England.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’re really delighted to join our partners at this shared stand – a new exhibition arrangement well-suited to new times – and we’re very grateful to Historic England for leading this and for the opportunity to demonstrate how well we all work together.’
Angharad Hart, IHBC’s Education and Application Support Officer, who will lead on the IHBC’s stand across the three days, said: ‘I’m delighted to be taking part and exhibiting at The Stone Show this year, alongside colleagues from other key heritage bodies. It’s always a fantastic chance to connect with others who care about the skills, materials and expertise that underpin the conservation of our historic environment.’
‘Whether you’re already a member or just curious about what we do, come and see us on Stand C20. We would love to meet you.’
