Conserv Partners with Sustainable Heritage Conservation to Bring its Comprehensive Environmental Monitoring Platform to Scotland
Conserv, a leading provider of advanced environmental monitoring solutions for cultural heritage institutions, is thrilled to announce a strategic partnership with Sustainable Heritage Conservation which provides UK museums, galleries, and historic sites with a comprehensive, sustainable approach to collections care.
Conserv’s all-in-one environmental monitoring platform combines advanced wireless sensor technology with real-time data analysis to help cultural institutions preserve their collections against environmental threats. Now, with Sustainable Heritage Conservation as a key UK partner, Conserv customers will benefit from specialised expertise in sustainable, data-driven conservation.
Led by ICON-accredited conservator Wilma Bouwmeester, Sustainable Heritage Conservation brings extensive experience in environmental management and sustainable preservation practices. The consultancy is known for their work with a breadth of organisations, from birthplace cottages and Local Authority museums to Nationals in Scotland (NTS, NMS, NRS) and beyond. Sustainable Heritage Conservation is also the Distributor in Scotland for the Hanwell Pro equipment to the heritage sector.
“This partnership with Sustainable Heritage Conservation is a powerful extension of our commitment to support cultural heritage institutions in every aspect of preservation,” said Dave Masom, CEO of Conserv. “By combining our technology with Wilma’s deep expertise, we’re able to deliver more than monitoring—we’re helping institutions make informed decisions that protect their collections and their environmental footprint.”
“Modern conservation requires us to balance precise environmental control with sustainability goals,” said Wilma Bouwmeester, Heritage Preservation Consultant at Sustainable Heritage Conservation. “Partnering with Conserv allows us to help UK institutions achieve both. Their innovative monitoring technology, combined with our conservation expertise, enables heritage organisations to make data-driven decisions that not only protect their collections but also align with their environmental responsibilities.”
Through the partnership, UK institutions will have access to conservation planning, environmental data analysis, and support in achieving optimal preservation conditions. This collaboration builds on Conserv’s recent partnership with Gwentec, which provides local technical support and calibration expertise.
