Clyde Marine Recruitment is a family owed business established in 1981, originally part of the Clyde Group. In 2001, after over a year as Marine Superintendent at one of Glasgow’s foremost ship managers, Ian joined the family business and supported a de-merger to return the company back to Livingstone family ownership in 2010.
He embarked on a major period of restructuring and investment which included consolidation of UK operations to their Glasgow headquarters and opening of a Polish branch office to complement their existing Latvian office.
Ian has used his experience within the marine industry to create a digital recruitment and post-employment solution (Ankaa) which addresses many issues recruiters and crew managers face within the shipping industry.
