His successful track record in business speaks for itself, but it is the way that Ian goes about his business which sets him head and shoulders above anyone else I have ever worked with. A truly charismatic and instantly likeable man with a sharp mind, he operates with a level of honesty and integrity all too rare in today's business world.
