At the FAME AGM on June 18th, two new board members were elected to the FAME Board, and one stepped down. Thank you to Mike Kimber for his years of service on the Board and welcome Candy Hatherley and Fiona Moore to the FAME Board.
About our new board members:
Candy Hatherley
I have worked in commercial archaeology in the UK for 30 years. My archaeological career has been varied. As a field archaeologist I worked throughout the UK and co-directed sites in Egypt and Iceland. In 2009 I joined Historic Environment Scotland as a Senior Heritage Advisor, advising and developing policies and legislation. In 2011 I joined Wessex Archaeology in their new Scottish office, developing a northern client base for fieldwork and consultancy. Between 2012 and 2015 I undertook a PhD at the University of Aberdeen specialising in the Scottish Iron Age. Alongside my studies I set up as a sole trader, offering consultancy, excavation and post-excavation services to commercial, third-sector and university clients.
I have been a Project Manager at Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd for the last ten years. I specialise in the delivery of large-scale infrastructure projects, notably for the Renewables sector.
Fiona Moore
I have worked in the UK heritage sector since 2006, initially in Northern Ireland as a field archaeologist and consultant, before moving over the water in 2011. I briefly worked with Wessex Archaeology and then the Essex County Council Field Unit, before heading to Oxford to take a consultancy role with ADAS UK Ltd. A desire to return to academic study brought me to Nottingham, where I joined Locus Consulting for 2 years, following which I led the Trent and Peak Archaeology Heritage Consultancy team for 18 months before completing my PhD at the University of Nottingham in 2023. After a few glorious years of pouring stuff into test tubes and playing with data, I returned to real life, and moved into my current role as Regional Manager of York Archaeology’s Nottingham and Sheffield branches. I’m currently attempting (with varied success) to keep at least one foot in the research world and am hoping to publish the results of my thesis over the next year or so.
