[Alex Shearman, CEO, Bath Preservation Trust]
People and places have featured big time in Alex Sherman’s professional working life.
If it’s not in supporting young, and often isolated, people in rural Somerset, then it’s in leading a restoration scheme in the Avalon Marshes near Glastonbury that created the largest area of reedbed in the country, providing a haven for Nature.
Coupled with his love of architecture, it’s not surprising that he ends up leading a charity very much concerned not only with preserving Bath’s history but also future-proofing its heritage, architecture and culture. A watchdog and promoter of a present and future city for all.
