Ian joined WSET as Chief Executive in May 2002 following a successful career spanning 25 years in Sales and Marketing within the Wine & Spirit Industry. Ten years with Waverley Vintners were followed by 15 years in the Seagram Spirits and Wine Group, the latter five years as Marketing Director of Seagram UK.
Holder of all WSET qualifications, Ian also lectured on the subject of spirits at Diploma level from 1990-2000 and has therefore seen the Trust from both sides of the fence!
His hobbies include sports (active participation in golf and hockey plus the occasional games of cricket and watching rugby) but he does indulge his other passion, which is singing (currently as a member of a four-part harmony group). He is married with two daughters (and two female cats) so is one of the few people in the world who can genuinely say that his life consists of Wine, Women and Song!
