Ian’s Dedication to the IAME and the Motor Industry
Ian was a proud and dedicated Member of the IAME for over 50 years — a milestone he valued deeply. Even after his retirement, Ian continued to serve the Institute and the industry he loved. He generously volunteered his time to supervise and grade membership examinations and assisted with applications to Fair Trading when members applied for Tradesman Certificates.
As the NSW National Chief State Examiner, Ian took his responsibilities seriously. He had a genuine passion for connecting with applicants, always taking the time to hear their stories, career journeys, and skills. His weekly visits to the Institute were a highlight for him — not just to lend his expertise, but to remain engaged in the motor industry that meant so much to him.
Ian’s ongoing commitment, warmth, and professionalism left a lasting impact on many, and his contribution will be remembered with great respect and appreciation.
Ian was a much-loved member of the IAME team who will be greatly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.
