Before founding Architectural Management Ltd, Ian gained over 25 years experience in
the architectural profession and is a Chartered Architectural Technologist. He is a dedicated 
and committed professional, using his expertise to apply a finely honed understanding of the
technical requirements of a project, balanced with a sound economic approach to

his specialism of historic and listed buildings.
