# The Heritage Bureau

The Heritage Bureau is a specialist consultancy based in London offering bespoke advisory services to organisations and individuals navigating the complexities of heritage project management. Led by Jane Stancliffe, an experienced heritage professional with deep sector knowledge, the bureau provides tailored support across the full spectrum of UK heritage – from museums and galleries to historic buildings, places of worship, industrial sites, and local histories.

The consultancy distinguishes itself through a personalised, discreet approach that goes far beyond generic advice. Rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions, Jane works closely with clients to understand their specific circumstances and challenges. Her services span the entire project lifecycle: from initial structured planning and development through to governance reviews, grant application support, heritage acquisitions, viability assessments, and crisis management.

What sets The Heritage Bureau apart is the depth of expertise combined with practical problem-solving. Jane doesn't simply advise – she mentors, conducts research, and actively supports implementation. She works with diverse client types including asset owners, local authorities, funders, and statutory bodies, bringing institutional knowledge of funding landscapes and regulatory frameworks that proves invaluable.

The bureau's emphasis on confidentiality and discretion is particularly significant for sensitive acquisitions or troubled situations. Rather than quick fixes, Jane focuses on ensuring clarity about the way forward, implementing appropriate solutions, and delivering high-quality outcomes that stand the test of time.
