Ian entered the industry as a Consultant for Aardvark Swift at the turn of the century and hasn't looked back since. Since taking the title of Managing Director in 2010, Ian has revamped Aardvark Swift into the award-winning, industry leading video game recruitment agency that it is today.

With a passion for developing the UK's graduate talent, Ian created the Grads in Games initiative which aims to strengthen links between academia and industry.
