Heritage Craft Builders Ltd
Heritage Craft was founded in Bath in 2006 by conservation architect turned builder William Ashby. Frustrated by the decline in traditional building skills, William built a company specifically committed to training the next generation of heritage builders. Several Heritage Craft apprentices have won national skills competitions.
