01 about
Project Development & Coordination - Business Planning - Audience Development & Evaluation
I offer advice to owners and organisations of historic buildings and can provide guidance and support to develop their project ideas. I assemble project teams, write briefs, carry out feasibility studies, options appraisal and grants for development and delivery. I manage each stage of work, and act as the interface between client and delivery team.
With over 15 years experience working in heritage across multiple organisations across the UK, I offer a bespoke and holistic approach to project work and am passionate about conserving, restoring and activating the maximum potential of historic sites and places to be enjoyed and relevant today.

02 clients
Happy clients are at the heart of everything we do and Grant Heritage Projects takes pride in delivering exceptional results that exceed expectations. Here's what some of our clients have to say...
Thank you for all your hard work on the new audio tour. The labels and panels looks lovely and make a vast improvement to the site and the
new tour is going down well with the staff and the public, which is wonderful to see. It ended up being a far more complicated job than
anticipated so I really appreciated your valuable input!
Amanda Hart
Manager of the Roman Baths & Pump Rooms
Thanks so much for all of your work on the new shop project. It looks amazing! I know how much work you put into it and that Rachel and team really valued your project management support. Well done!
Robert Campbell
Head of Heritage Services B&NES
I had the pleasure of working with Antonia during 2018 in her role as Special Projects Manager for the “Learning in Harmony” campaign at St Paul’s Cathedral. Antonia expertly filled the role and was a key support to the wider team, including St Paul’s Cathedral Trust in America. Antonia responded well to project changes and juggled the priorities of the various tasks most effectively. I would have no hesitation in recommending Antonia to future employers.
Andrew Edwards
Director Development at
St Paul's Cathedral
Antonia is a pleasure to work with and we have worked together on some key projects, most recently the new learning space at the Victoria Art Gallery. She is incredibly precise and considers everything in the round, using her expertise to manage multiple projects and stakeholders at once. Her background means she is able to create great synergy between great project management and understanding donors' needs. Antonia is an unique talent and great asset to the Heritage Services team.
