Ian is also the nephew of the late Robert (Gordon) Sutherland, owner of Aston Martin Limited prior to David Brown. Inevitably Ian developed a passionate interest in Motorsport, but decided to forge a career with the Police, progressing from patrol work, accident & crime investigation, police training, project work on behalf of the Home Office, and surveillance photography. Retired since 1998, Ian now follows his personal interests of photography and motor sport. Recently Ian resurrected The Order of The Road motoring organisation run by his uncle, the intention being to retain the name within the family. The Company will remain dormant for the immediate future, but that future is open to whatever possibilities present themselves.
