As an external digital development agency, we worked with Ian in his role role as digital lead overseeing the development of a web application. The project was in the final stretch of delivery and had several challenging blockers that required constant agile planning and problem solving. Ian’s agile project management and planning was excellent. He was organised, methodical and was regularly required to deliver a high level of understanding across a broad spectrum of technologies, covering server infrastructure, web application development and languages, analytical data and user experience best practice, whilst managing the internal and external resource. He was an excellent project lead and a pleasure to work with on a weekly basis.

I've worked with Ian over the past few months and always found him very supportive, friendly, whilst retaining a professional attitude and work ethic. He is always diligent about getting the job done and will work the extra hours to do so. He has a technical understanding of front end apps and performance which meant he could answer and contribute considerably on this, and if he didn’t know the answer, he would find out. Ian is a great team player and I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again.

2011 UK Freelancer of the Year
Digital Excellence

Judge Matt Potter from John Brown Media (part of the Dentsu Aegis Network) remarked that I was “More than just a problem-solver and creative freelancer, he immersed himself in the client’s organisation, goals and culture. That meant Ian could start not just fulfilling the brief, but exceeding it – and even challenging the client’s own practices, assumptions and expectations of what was possible in the digital space.”
