Ian was born in Blackpool and currently lives in Flitwick where he works as a channel manager for a computer company. He began his working career on the shop floor at Dixons before being promoted to store manager and then onto the store's headquarters where he worked in staff development, including the rolling out of e-learning and innovative training courses. Ian is fond of 'management speak' and is proud of both his people skills and his direct yet stern style. Although separated from his wife, Ian loves to spend time with his two young children.
