Perhaps before I start describing what I saw, experienced
and learned during the three weeks of my placement, it would be wise to say a
few words about the company as well as my reasons for choosing William Anelay Ltd
as my placement provider.
William Anelay Ltd is one of the oldest heritage
construction companies in the United Kingdom. Founded 266 years ago, there
is no doubt about the wealth of experience and expertise the company
possesses. Specialising in the conservation and
restoration of listed and historic buildings and the construction of
bespoke new build residential and non-residential properties the list of
projects starts in 1745 and continues to grow every day.
With the impressingly long history of the company and its
never- ending list of projects it is hard not to feel the urge to peek “behind the curtains”. In addition, my keen interest in project
management only deepened my wish to do a placement at the company. So, when Charles Anelay, the Special Projects
Director and Chairman of the company gave a guest lecture at the Department
of Archaeology, I was 100% certain I would like to do my placement at William
Anelay’s Ltd.
So here we go.
