The world is his oyster
Ian is a technical sales engineer with vast experience in engineering coupled with invaluable international trading expertise – and knowledge of different countries, cultures and current affairs. Hydraulics Online is often referred to as the hydraulic solutions “gateway” to the rest of the world and Ian plays an instrumental part in this operation. Ian is also renowned for finding and successfully sourcing even the rarest of parts and meeting the strictest of deadlines. Let him take the pressure!
Ian says: It’s fun to watch the regions we talk to change through the day as the sun rises and sets in different time zones. There is virtually no corner of the world one can’t ship to… even if it does take a little creative thinking on our part!



Smooth Sailing
Outside of work, Ian enriches his life with his passion for music (all genres) and learning about world history and geopolitics, as well as escaping into gruelling crime fiction by the likes of: Thomas Harris, Agatha Christie and Stephen King. He also enjoys walking his two dogs across the scenic Staffordshire Moorlands or navigating his canal cruiser down the River Churnet.

You’ve gotta dance like there’s nobody watching!
