We all at Gateway Building Control undertake continuous professional development (CPD) and last night we had the pleasure of attending a seminar in Ipswich by Alan Creasey of QR Consultancy.

We all at Gateway Building Control undertake continuous professional development (CPD) and last night we had the pleasure of attending a seminar in Ipswich by Alan Creasey of QR Consultancy.

On occasions CPD events can be less than informative with trade companies trying to persuade that their product is more superior, this wasn't the case last night. 

Alan clearly is very passionate and extremely knowledgeable on the subject of historic buildings. We enjoyed the event thoroughly and highly recommend anyone interested in arranging CPD or training events on the subject of conservation and heritage to look no further and contact Alan.
