In his role as a business psychology consultant, Ian has worked across a wide range of sectors including financial services, automotive, law enforcement, retail and higher education. Predominantly focusing on executive-level assessment, he has undertaken both one-off and ongoing projects, including wholesale redesign of assessment strategy and approaches, development and rollout of competency/ behavioural frameworks, assessment centre design, interviewing methods (competency-based, values-based and strengths), assessor and interviewer training, unconscious bias workshops, personality profiling for candidate sifting and recruitment, and the design and delivery of executive and high potential development centres. 

In the early part of his career, Ian worked for Central Government departments and Police forces across the UK, designing and delivering assessment centres, ranging from high touch executive assessment to assessment at scale, for selection, development or identifying high potential. It is in these formative years that Ian found a fascination in helping organisations make better hiring decisions, avoiding the risks and costs associated with flawed strategy or embedded, but ultimately self-defeating practices. 

Since becoming a consultant more than 10 years ago, Ian has advised and continues to work with global companies such as Jaguar Land Rover and Bupa and large UK-based organisations such as Nationwide, Halfords and NATS (formerly National Air Traffic Services).
