Paul Thirkettle

Having worked with Ian for over three years, I can highly recommend him as a loyal, tenacious member of the team. Ian's attention to detail in everything he does is exemplary. His conscientious attitude is infectious and I would go so far to say that he is one of the best colleagues I've had the pleasure of working with. A real genuine character who puts his heart and soul into everything he does. Intelligent in his approach yet diverse in application, Ian's ability to constructively lead a team or individually attain set goals is hugely effective. A massive asset to any company, Ian displays all the qualities of a true business professional and will certainly not disappoint.

Over the years I worked with Ian, he never failed to bring a dynamic and fresh approach to marketing. His ability to enter into, understand and work with new markets is a credit to him.
