English Heritage's 'Corporate Plan 2011 - 2015' was launched by the Minister for Tourism and Heritage, John Penrose MP, in May 2011.
It describes the context in which we will be working, our priorities and the budget we have to work with. You can watch the videos of all the speeches and interviews from the Corporate Plan launch.
The Minister returned to Apsley House on 22 May 2012 to speak on the theme of 'Heritage and Economic Growth'. English Heritage Chair Baroness Andrews reviewed the last year's achievements and Chief Executive Simon Thurley took the opportunity to set out English Heritage's plans for the coming year.
