Managing Director

In 2001, after over a year as Marine Superintendent at one of Glasgow’s foremost ship managers, Ian joined the family business.

Clyde Marine Recruitment was established jointly by his father and mother David Livingstone OBE, Extra Master and Sissel Livingstone in 1981.In 2008 the Clyde Group was bought out by stakeholders and Ian successfully undertook a de-merger to return the company back to Livingstone family ownership in 2010.  He embarked on a major period of restructuring and investment which included consolidation of UK operations to their Glasgow headquarters and opening of a Polish branch office to complement their existing Latvian office.

Ian has spent the last five years working towards a digital recruitment and post-employment solution (Ankaa)  following his frustrations surrounding the many issues recruiters and crew managers face within the shipping industry.
