From one of his first big wins as a cox in 1982 to....
..his last race in 1989 - Ian in front
Ian has had an interesting, varied and successful rowing career. Whilst not an international level rower, he enjoyed his rowing and club life. His engaging personality and ability to maintain the many friendships gained in his youth, are hallmarks of his continuing interest in the sport.
It is little wonder that he has weaved his love of sport with his commercial, partnership and marketing skills to become a leading sports sponsorship and commercial sports manager.
