Biography
Ian is currently a statutory regulator of legal services in the field of immigration. He is an Immigration Services Commissioner, ensuring the fitness and competence of advisers, handling complaints and prosecuting those who act illegally. As a corporation sole and accounting officer, Ian holds responsibility for all aspects of corporate governance.
Ian has wide experience of management and policy delivery in the public sector with his later career focusing on regulation and consumer protection. After running the Regulatory Impact Unit in the former Department of Trade and Industry, Ian spent several years as managing director of the Consumer Council for Postal Services, championing the interests of all users throughout the UK.
In addition to his work on immigration, Ian is active in the further education sector and he advises the Irish communications regulator on postal consumer issues. His priority is therefore to ensure that the IRB protects the public interest.
