The IHBC Heritage MarketPlace
The IHBC’s recast Heritage MarketPlace web resource is a new way to access, promote and secure quality services, advice, guidance and more on all aspects of heritage and conservation – its care, checking and changing – free and accessible to users, affordable and quality profiling for commercial and charity Stallholders.
IHBC Director Seán O’Reilly said: ‘We’ve just finished a total renovation of our virtual Heritage MarketPlace – begun during Covid and recast now for our new world.’
‘IHBC’s new MarketPlace offers easy-search listings of services and more to help anyone source quality solutions to any heritage-led query or need.’
‘With more than 125 stalls listed to date, we’re preparing to host the online launch of the IHBC’s 2023 Annual School on 21 June with a virtual and live School ‘MarketPlace:LIVE’, climate-themed and, like all our Schools, learning-led.’
‘Remember, anyone can visit our ‘MarketPlace:LIVE’ online free on 21 June, from 4.30-7.00pm, just by registering HERE.’
‘And if you’d like to host a live MarketPlace:LIVE stall online, to promote services or offer free advice linked to our School themes of climate & heritage, contact us HERE’.
