Paula Baron
Paula has been with the Canal and River Trust for almost three years and in that time has shown great commitment to expanding her skillset and knowledge. While attending the Heritage Craft Alliance, she learned heritage carpentry, masonry and bricklaying and achieved a level two NVQ in conservation and restoration. Now continuing on to her level three, Paula is a committed student and is incredibly focussed on learning and enhancing her masonry skills, largely thanks to her keen interest in history.
Paula is always willing to take her skills where they are needed the most and takes every opportunity given to her to learn from more experienced masons and bricklayers as well as the carpenters in her team. She is a great ambassador for the trust and demonstrates perfectly how an academic love of history can be put into practice, working on structures that are over two hundred years old, always with the greatest level of respect and care.
