Why Ian?
Expert
Save time. Talk to someone who speaks your language and listens. Creative agency experience and a psychology background. Not the usual recruiter DNA.
Connected
Not to be too blunt but you want the best talent or opportunity, don’t you? Not just the first person or role that comes along? Peachy knows the hidden gems you’ll want to meet and work with.
Use my in-house creative agency experience and my vast network of tried and tested talent, which I’ve built up over 20 years. I’m connected.
Rigorous
Time well spent with you at the beginning of your recruitment process saves you pain in the long run. A great match first time is the aim.
Open yourself up to some gentle inquisition so I can do this properly. You don’t work without a decent brief and nor do I.
Interested
Tell me your strengths and weaknesses. Projects you’re proud of. Trumpet your wins! Tell me about the big creative idea, the tech you love, the insights that made a difference. Tell me what really fires you up! I’m interested.
And, of course, it helps me to help you or your business if I actually know you. I love hearing ongoing stories and helping to write your next chapter.
Focused
Ever noticed how quickly recruiters give up? No low hanging fruit. No easy wins. And they’re off.
I will not rest until you get the outcome you want. Selective who I work with, so you’ll get a dedicated service.
Enduring
Tired of putting energy into agents who disappear? Peachy is in it for the long run and we love forging long-term collaborative business partnerships.
I get a kick from seeing creative agencies grow, innovative digital startups thrive, new projects get off the ground and careers blossom.

Testimonials
“We are consulting firm building a new software product. Based in Gloucs,
I really wanted the first developer we recruited to be local to us and I didn’t hold out much hope of finding someone locally.
Reached out to Ian and within a couple of days we had found a great developer who is still with us… about an hour away…. great cultural fit…really really good experience, can’t do better than that!
So I would highly recommend Ian at Peachy, definitely have a chat with him, very knowledgeable and very well connected.”
“When I decided to change career directions I wanted someone who recognised my skills as a full-stack developer to find the right firm with the right needs to keep me engaged. As I was coming out of the freelance arena, I also needed someone who knew tech AND business and could advise me with improving my CV to get the right interviews.
I cannot thank Ian enough for helping me through these measures as well as advising me on locations that would be better suited to my skill set, knowing companies directly to initiate interviews and finding me the perfect role with a brilliant mentor on a project that ticks all the boxes.
If you’re looking for talent for genuinely understanding business and the people within, you’ve found it with Ian”.
“I am a Freelance Designer, Ian is an invaluable contact to have, I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are looking for the right talent for your agency or a talented UX / UI consultant / designer looking for your next adventure, he will find the perfect fit. As well as being a 1st rate recruiter Ian is a truly talented business development director. What’s more, he’s also an extremely nice guy.”
“Ian is an absolute pleasure to deal with, he managed to find and place a devloper in one of my client’s businesses within 5 days. Pretty impressive.”
“Having found myself in the world of freelance, it’s been great having Ian’s help finding work along with his networking skills. As a business development director, he quickly understands clients’ businesses and design and marketing issues whilst able to offer creative solutions. A valued sounding board for the creative team, a good (albeit colour blind eye) for design and also a great recruiter to boot. I’d highly recommend Ian to anyone in need of Business Development or Recruitment!”
“Ian has been professional, welcoming and committed in every instance I’ve worked along side him. Always willing to go above and beyond for a client.”
“Ian is a great recruitment partner and has sourced very good candidates (one of which we have now hired) for us. He’s personable and dedicated, and an effective and well networked recruiter. Happy to recommend him!”
“Ian is a man of many talents. I’ve been lucky enough to benefit from three of them:
1. He’s found me a job as a Creative Director.
2. He’s found me talented creatives for my team.
3. He’s worked with me as my Business Director.
Ian is a great guy and takes the time to get to know everyone in his enviable network personally. From a recruitment perspective this means he’ll only ever match people with jobs that are right for them (which is perfect whether you’re looking for a job or looking to hire). And from a business perspective, it means he is great at finding new business and then retaining that business.
If you’re looking for a new challenge, you need to employ someone, or you need someone to take care of your marketing or advertising, I recommend that you make Ian your first port of call.”
“Despite being relatively fresh out of Uni, Ian took the time to meet me and properly understand my desired professional path. The resulting industry insight and opportunity he provided were spot on. Ian really does invest in getting to know you and what you want, ensuring the best possible match.”
“When I was in the process of looking for a new job Ian listened to what I wanted to do, where I saw myself and ensured me he could help. He was really positive and personable, making me feel at ease every time we talked. The first role he put me forward for I got! I will be forever grateful that he helped me as 2 years on I am still loving my job.”
“I have known Ian for over 10 years. He has helped me greatly in my own professional design career and I have gained access to a very large variety of work through my contact with him and his company Identity. He’s an extremely trust-worthy, dedicated and professional individual with great knowledge of his field. Ian is a great character and a genuine people person. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.”
“I’ve found Ian easy to work with because he knows the design sector well and he has integrity, treating businesses and candidates equally well. He works hard at matching candidates with the right job and aims to create long term relationships with clients. Overall a good guy to know as far a recruiters go!”
“Ian helped fill two roles (Account Manager and Senior Artworker) for our agency. He understood the brief from the outset and the candidates that he sent were on brief which saved time. Both hires are still employed!”
“Ian took the time to understand the brief and make specific recommendations focusing on quality not quantity.”
“I have worked with Ian on a number of occasions. You always feel that Ian puts your career objectives first, listening to what you are looking for, and only recommending really appropriate opportunities. A great approach as both a candidate or a client.”
“I had the pleasure of coaching Ian as a new manager – some long while ago now! The thing about Ian I always appreciated is that he was always very bright and questioned everything – which might have made for a tricky time but in fact made for a much more interesting one. No-one could ever be bored working with Ian and I wish him every success.”
