Historic Buildings & Places is delighted to announce the appointment of three new trustees: Dr Amy Hondsmerk, Kerrie Fuller, and Rebecca Harfield.
Together, they bring a wealth of expertise across heritage skills, membership strategy, and built environment planning. Their collective insight will help HB&P continue to champion historic buildings and places of all ages and types, while supporting the continued growth of our organisation.
Dr Amy Hondsmerk is the Heritage Skills Adviser at Historic England, where she works to ensure the sector has the skills needed to care for the historic environment in the future. Prior to this, she completed a PhD exploring video games as tools for museum and heritage interpretation, and she continues to explore new approaches to playful and digital experiences.
Kerrie Fuller is a freelance consultant specialising in membership. She has worked in the membership sector for nearly 20 years, across professional bodies, private members’ clubs and museums. Kerrie brings valuable experience in developing membership strategies and improving member engagement across a wide range of organisations.
Rebecca Harfield is a built heritage specialist and heritage planner with over 25 years’ experience. She currently works for Cadw, delivering conservation and visitor improvement projects across sites in state care. Rebecca has previously worked for Historic England, in local authorities, and in New Zealand for both Heritage New Zealand and Auckland Council. She is a Full Member of the IHBC, a Chartered Town Planner, and an Individual Member of ICOMOS.
The three new trustees will attend their first board meeting in July. Their combined experience will bring valuable new perspectives to HB&P’s Board as we look to the future.
