Ian is a competent Hydraulic Engineer with a wealth of experience in the concept, design, manufacture, testing and installation of hydraulic manifolds and systems. I have previously worked alongside Ian for 2 years and would recommend his expertise.

David Potter

I have worked with Ian on a number of projects, in both a theoretical and practical nature, and he has shown an excellent level of hydraulic knowledge, hands on ability and overall system operation. He works in a logical and methodical manor which makes him very organised and structured. Ian is happy to answer any hydraulic questions and shows good patience in doing so. Ian has a good sense of humour which makes working with him easy and enjoyable. I would highly recommend Ian as a hydraulic Engineer
