Short profile:
I am a consultant archivist and professional management consultant. I advise on the care and development of archive services in the UK to archivists, heritage managers, senior decision-makers and policy bodies. I also undertake occasional projects outside the UK.
I set my consultancy up after 8 years working as a professional archivist. In that time I have developed a strong reputation as a dynamic archivist with practical solutions and a strong enthusiasm for my clients’ aspirations. Each project has its own heritage management needs to which I adapt my knowledge and skills, as well as drawing on the considerable talents of my wide range of associates to give you the solution you need.
Detailed description:
Having qualified as an archivist 15 years ago I have become very familiar with the technical and strategic challenges that face archivists and archive collections. I have run a very successful archive consultancy since 2003 and over that time I have realised that good solutions need not only strong archival skills but strong foundations of vision and goals delivered through practical action plans. With that in mind I am now a qualified management consultant and thus I bring a whole skills set of visioning, analysis, consultation and solution development. As an Expert Adviser to the Heritage Lottery Fund these skills are vital to me.
I know that clients often need a range of skills to deliver a practical solution so I have a wide range of associates that I can call upon. My network provides extensive resources including conservation, records management, project management, architectural design and audience analysis .
Above all I believe in working closely with my clients to ensure I provide them with what they need.
