S1. Ep 3. In conversation with Rebecca Thompson, Director of Property at St Paul’s Cathedral
In this episode I am joined by Rebecca Thompson, Director of Property at St Paul’s Cathedral where responsibilities include leading the strategic development to ensure compliance, maintenance and restoration of this
magnificent iconic building and its associated estate.
Rebecca and I discuss her work and how she got into working within the heritage sector, and how powerful apprenticeships can be and how university might not always be the right option and how important it is to follow your heart and being brave enough to take the leap.
Rebecca offers an insight into some of the incredible work
they are doing at St Paul’s Cathedral to ensure it is around for many more years to come and will be able to share even more about opportunities in a later episode so keep a look out for that!
We discuss the joy and stress of owning a heritage building and the pride that goes hand in hand with it, top tips and how important it is to have a maintenance plan. Plus, caring for an older property (listed or not) and where to find information to support looking after your traditional
property, architectural detailing to look out for and the appropriateness of materials and how this translates to buildings under Rebecca’s care.
We also scratch the surface on a really big subject so more will follow in future episodes!
It will be great listen for anyone embarking on a project
and is looking for some guidance and anyone generally interested in older
properties.
