Ian has been with Hydrant from the start. He's a level headed Cumbrian with Yorkshire roots so 'tells it like it is' and is highly focussed on getting the job done. Having used Drupal throughout his career Ian is a seasoned professional site builder. His skill set allows him to achieve the best from Drupal cost effectively. Ian has also managed delivery of some of our largest projects.

What I do

Web development, mostly focusing on the Drupal CMS. Looking after clients and generally getting things done.

What I do outside of work

Mountain biking and walking usually in the Lake District or anywhere else I can get to.

My favourite project

Staffordshire Moorlands Drupal website

Why it's my favourite project

It was my first large site build in Drupal 7. It had a particular focus on accessibility using Drupal's features for active trails and breadcrumbs. Various new approaches discovered in the process for building Drupal sites to ever higher standards.

My best moment

Travelling round New Zealand for a month. A real eye opener to a different world and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
