-Gary Rodley, Tathra Oysters

It would be easy to run away with superlatives when talking about Ian. His people skills, love of and sense of community and depth of knowledge builds a level of trust and comfort in those he works with. But of particular note is his uncanny and invaluable skill of being pleasantly assertive when required. His passion for regional products and keen understanding of the effort involved in getting to market, delivers content that builds connections with the customer and profile in the community.
