The 2007 Construction Manager of the Year Simon
Byford, awarded by the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), will
present his award winning project, the “Restoration of the HBOS
Edinburgh Mound” at two major project management conferences in
Dublin and Glasgow.
These are part of a series of CIOB conferences on the management of
heritage and conservation projects, the first of which was held at
one of England’s most prestigious historic houses, Hardwick Hall in
November 2007.
Conference chair John Edwards who said: “Very seldom do you have the
opportunity to hear so many expert views on conservation project
management and with the last conference over subscribed by thirty
percent there is clear interest in this very important activity. The
forthcoming conferences will showcase best practice from various
perspectives in a project team, as well from those that fund
conservation and heritage projects.”
The conferences have been organised with input and support from the
National Trust, Institute of Historic Building Conservation,
Institute of Conservation and Construction Skills.
The conference in Dublin takes place at the Law Society Building on
the 29th February 2007 and in the Parish Hall, St. Georges Square,
