"Ian is certainly one of the smartest and most productive developers that I have had the pleasure of working with. His knowledge of existing and emerging technologies and trends, coupled with a keen sense of where they can be best utilised within a business environment ensures that the applications he produces are fully fit for purpose and are easy to maintain. During his time at Marshalls, Ian produced several high-profile business critical applications that continue to function effectively day-in day-out. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ian for any software development position and hope that I get to work with him again some day."

"Thanks to Ian Nelson who managed to identify all the technical difficulties and proved to be a great support. Ironically [supplier] were not able to provide me resolution on the errors for more than a day (they are the ones to develop it), which Ian managed to crack."

"Hiring Ian was my last act as a permanent employee at Ventura. Ian proved to be a fantastic choice; as well as being one of the most technically adept developers I've ever worked with he's good company and delivers high-quality code in small amounts of time. All-in-all a very good hire, and I hope I have the good fortune to work with him again."
