I have recently specialised in appeals and expert witness testimony, this becoming a particular focus of my professional development. The intensity of such work propelled me to gain IHBC accreditation. Recognising its importance for inquiries, I was delighted to secure IHBC membership, complementing my Fellowship of the Society of Antiquaries and reinforcing my standing in the field. Those specific postnominals convey great weight. Not only did it instil more confidence in my own expertise, but it also provides more assurance to the client (and, often, inspector). For consultants, IHBC membership is not just a badge, it is a passport to more prestigious work, client confidence and deeper roots in the conservation sector. I am therefore looking forward to championing the IHBC’s collective professional voice, one that can help shape national heritage policy and guidance. Emma Wells is a new full member of the IHBC.
