This last webinar will focus on a new Industrial Heritage Trail in the UK. Your speakers are Brandi Hall-Crossgrove (Saltaire WHS) and Sukie Khaira (Derwent Valley Mills WHS).

Brandi, the Saltaire WHS Officer, is a Trustee of World Heritage UK and the founder of the Industrial World Heritage Group. Brandi has worked at the local level for Saltaire & Ironbridge Gorge.

Sukie has been working for the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site since 2007, firstly at Derby City Council and now with Derbyshire County Council.  Sukie has helped secure capital and revenue funding for projects across the whole of the WHS including for a strategy to regenerate Darley Abbey Mills which is now a thriving creative industries hub, the heritage trip boat Birdswood that runs on the Cromford Canal, and at Cromford Mills where the visitor centre and business units are now part of the vibrant offer in the northern hub of the site.
