The fourth in a series of interviews of those in the world of construction and property examining what sparked them to go into the business they are in, what exactly they do, and their experiences of business networking.
Ian heads Westfield Compliance which is a family-focused business he is extremely proud of.
He charts an unexpected journey into doing what he does now which actually started at the age of 16 when it wasn’t legal in the UK for people of that age to be involved in asbestos assessment.
No, he didn’t do anything wrong – he was sent abroad to study the topic in European destinations where it was accepted.
He reveals the hands-free story of when he won his largest contract whizzing down the motorway and had to turn off soon afterwards so they could have a jiggy dance in the motorway service station.
You can tell Ian has had a deep passion for his work from the outset. He recounts how he transformed a failing business business from a huge 6 figure monthly loss to profit.
And how that sparked his current path. He also shares his experiences of networking and his approach – which is the complete opposite of “selling” – and has had some impressive results from this approach.
His stance on garden gnomes? No spoilers here, you’ll have to tune in.
