Striding Ahead LLP has been organising successful corporate, charity and private outdoors events since 2005 and in that time has built up an enviable reputation for delivering enjoyable events which are cost-effective and proven as a method of developing teams, winning business and strengthening existing client relationships.
From his first ascent of Ben Nevis at 13, Ian has a lifelong love of the dramatic scenery of the U.K. He has also participated in extended trekking expeditions in both the Peruvian Andes and Moroccan High Atlas ranges.
Ian decided in 2011 to “call time” on a 32-year Banking career and look for full-time opportunities in the outdoors industry - thus allowing him to offer the same experience and enjoyment of the U.K. mountains to others.
Already a member of Mountain Leader Training England, The British Mountaineering Council and the Mountain Leader Training Association Ian is in the final stages of his formal Mountain Leader training. Ian is fully qualified in Rescue Emergency Care.
