Adrienne Ridler-Lee MSc

I have a MSc in the Conservation and Management of Historic Buildings having studied at the Cultural Heritage Institute at the Royal Agricultural University in Cirencester. I have a strong background in property and estate management, and am passionate about the management, conservation and preservation of our historic environment.

I believe that historic buildings can sympathetically transition into the 21st century with the implementation of good design and relevant planning policy. I work closely with other industry professionals to provide a robust and straightforward solution to listed, or historic building issues. I am a member of the Institute of Historic Buildings (IHBC) and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings (SPAB).
