The consultancy was established by Esther Robinson Wild BA (Hons) PgDip MA MCIfA FSA who holds a Masters Degree in the Archaeology of Buildings from the University of York, and has a background in real estate finance. Esther is an accredited Member (MCIfA) of the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists (CIfA) and a former member of the Board of Directors of CIfA. She is co-Lead of The London School of Architecture’s Part 4 Course ‘Working with Heritage’.
Esther has significantly contributed to the successful delivery of complex and high-profile projects. These range from preparing the historic environment assessment for English Heritage’s £5 million footbridge project at Tintagel Castle to project managing The Architectural Heritage Fund’s (AHF) establishment of a £7 million Heritage Impact Fund and the £15 million Transforming Places Through Heritage Programme, which formed part of the government's Future High Streets Fund.
Robinson Wild Consulting believe that a thorough understanding of context and significance at project inception are key to successful delivery. This approach is emphasised as it allows for the early identification of challenges and opportunities which can inform, develop and articulate a client’s strategy and vision. With her real estate background, Esther also understands development economics and viability which informs a targeted and holistic approach that can benefit her clients in the key risk areas of project finance and time management.
