Colleague Spotlight
Ian Watson, Health & Safety Regional Manager ( Scotland)
Ian's background
Hi, I’m Ian. I joined WorkNest (formally Ellis Whittam) in December 2015 as a Health & Safety Consultant and have progressed into a Regional Manager role looking after a team of consultants in Scotland.
I moved into Health & Safety as a career after leaving the Royal Navy where I was a Helicopter Engineer and spending a couple of years in construction and facilities management.
I’ve always enjoyed the variation in the role of a Health & Safety Consultant, no two days are the same with the range of clients we have. I’ve travelled the length & breadth of Scotland including being as far away as Shetland & Orkney.
When I’m not working I can be found riding my mountain bike down Munros, paddling through the wilds of Scotland or building Lego with my boys.
