\"HESPR<\/a>In line with the IHBC\u2019s ongoing enhancement of client-business relations in conservation, the institute has launched a newly branded leaflet for its listing of recognised and quality assured conservation businesses, our \u2018HESPR\u2019 scheme.<\/u><\/p>\n

HESPR – Historic Environment Service Providers Recognition – is the IHBC\u2019s UK-wide listing of quality-assured bodies that work to the conservation standards of the IHBC, the UK\u2019s lead body for built and historic environment conservation practitioners and specialists.<\/p>\n

IHBC Chair Mike Brown said: \u2018Through our IHBC HESPR listing of recognised commercial conservation services the IHBC offers clients with heritage needs and interests a perfect platform to access corporate and business services provided by our members and their employers.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And of course, as statutory conservation services are increasingly pressured by cutbacks and cost restraints, clearly the most cost-effective way for regulators to address their statutory duties is to look to securing the quality assurance offered by the UK\u2019s professional body for built and historic environment conservation specialists, the IHBC.\u00a0 The starting point there is, of course, the HESPR scheme for conservation practices quality assured by the IHBC!\u2019<\/p>\n

IHBC Director Sean O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018The diversity of services offered through our HESPR listings is remarkable, not least given the small number of practices as yet recognised there.\u00a0 A key feature is the manageable administrative framework, and fees that are especially suited to the SME sector \u2013 many HESPR members are sole-traders or the equivalent, while the IHBC endorsement is a valuable mark of credible quality assurance in their specialist business operations.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018The HESPR scheme is also perfectly well attuned to the delivery of conservation-related services in major interdisciplinary service providers, as the institute is uniquely well placed to assess the integration of staff skills and corporate services in delivering conservation outcomes.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018And with our new tender notice service, offering regular updates on business opportunities, also included at no extra cost to HESPR members, we\u2019re both establishing a unique database on conservation work as well as offering HESPR members a unique package of current news on commercial opportunities.\u2019<\/p>\n
