Mike Brown IHBC has been elected as the new Chair of The Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), the UK\u2019s professional body for built and historic environment specialists, with Emilia Hands taking on the duties of IHBC\u2019s Vice Chair.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike was IHBC\u2019s Policy secretary and previously had been IHBC Communications & Outreach secretary. He is a chartered building surveyor with over 20 years\u2019 experience of the repair, refurbishment and successful change management of historic buildings and places, both as a practitioner and conservation officer. He is now a consultant heritage and urban design advisor.<\/p>\n

Mike said: \u2018I\u2019m delighted, if a little challenged, by the thought of taking on this role. However I am confident that the team responsible for leading the IHBC\u2019s developments over the coming three years – ranging from our Board and staff to the individual groups and volunteers on the ground – are fully committed to delivering results to the same high standard we have seen under my predecessor, Jo Evans.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Indeed I would especially like to thank Jo, and our past-Vice Chair Sheila Stones, for their dedicated work when in post. Successes achieved under their guidance include the recently concluded National Occupational Standards for built environment conservation, a much more stable and balanced income stream for the organisation, and a body of research and investigation into local authority conservation that I am certain will prove critical to getting our messages about the importance of conservation and services, right into the heart of government.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018At the same time I look forward to making sure that as an institute we continue to look upwards and outwards beyond our many current challenges.\u2019<\/p>\n

Emilia, Chair of the South Branch that delivered the IHBC\u2019s Winchester School, in 2012, will be the IHBC\u2019s Vice Chair, following Sheila Stones, with special portfolio responsibility for our energetic Branch network.<\/p>\n

Emilia said: \u2018We do understand that many of our members are under huge pressure in their work, or from lack of it. The IHBC will continue to generate the advocacy and resources that promote our members and their work, and it is our volunteer Branches, working on the ground, that are best placed to bring our message into their networks.\u2019<\/p>\n
