Given the strategic importance of our business to conservation practice in the UK, IHBC CPD certificates will be available to AGM attendees
Tim Greensmith is a conservation architect specialising in the repair and re-use of industrial heritage to deliver socio-economic regeneration. Over the past decade and a half Tim was Project Architect, for architects Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, on the £30m conservation and repair of the Grade I listed Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings, dubbed ‘the grandparent of the skyscraper’. Tim led a team of brilliant designers and engineers, working hand in hand with client Historic England, conservation contractor Croft Building & Conservation and a very supportive local community.
