Ian is a chartered landscape architect with a diverse range of experience acquired over a long career working in both the public and private sectors.

​

A visit to Liverpool Garden Festival planted a seed of a future vocation which has grown and matured through experience gained in private practice and local authorities in Lancashire, Cornwall, London, Bedford and more recently in North Yorkshire.

​

Ian has worked across numerous sectors of the construction industry, first cutting his teeth on the reclamation of sensitive, industrial and historic, coastal sites. This led onto: a buoyant period of public funding for youth and community projects; several years working on high quality residential garden schemes in central London; a role as a clerk of works inspecting re-instatement works on a new forty five mile National Grid powerline; and more recently on award winning retail, health and retirement living projects.

​

Ian complements his love of landscape and design with a passion for photography, having won a number of national and regional competitions and images exhibited in regional civic galleries.
