BEFS Announcement

In mid-July BEFS will be saying a sad but fond farewell to Director, Ailsa Macfarlane, as she takes up a new role as Head of National and International Partnerships for National Museums Scotland (NMS).

In her 7 years with BEFS – first in Policy & Strategy, then as Director – Ailsa has used her very considerable expertise, enthusiasm and skill in bringing the breadth of the sector together to address strategic issues and support a vibrant built environment sector.

From work on development of the Sustainable Investment Toolkit (SIT), to an extensive partnership with the National Trust for Scotland; her important legacy of listening to the sector, and skilfully facilitating discussion and debate, is work that BEFS looks forward to continuing.

The Board and BEFS team are very sorry to see Ailsa go but are delighted to see she will still be working within the cultural-heritage sector. We know there are many connections which will remain part of future conversations.

We are delighted to announce that with significant knowledge and experience within BEFS team, from August Hazel Johnson will be stepping into the role of BEFS Interim Director.  BEFS looks forward to continuing to serve our Members, Associates, and the wider sector.
