As a Sourcing Manager at Millwood, Ian plays a key role in connecting customer needs with the right providers. He ensures that quality, delivery and service consistently meet Millwood’s high standards while maintaining strong relationships with both customers and suppliers. His attention to detail and dedication to finding the right fit help ensure that every project runs smoothly from start to finish.

Before joining Millwood, Ian spent his entire career in steel manufacturing and production. When that chapter of his career came to a close, he found a new home in the pallet industry — one he had already come to know as a former Millwood customer. The familiarity and strong reputation of the company made the transition a natural step, and he embraced Millwood’s mission and culture.

What stands out most to Ian is how different Millwood feels from other companies he has worked for. The culture, grounded in faith and service, is what inspires him most. “The mission is simple,” he says. “Let everyone who comes in contact with Millwood see the love of Christ in all we do.” That purpose continues to guide his approach to leadership and collaboration every day.

Ian focuses primarily on national, multi-location opportunities, working to match complex needs with efficient and cost-effective sourcing solutions. As a mechanical engineer by degree, he approaches each challenge with a problem-solving mindset and enjoys finding creative ways to deliver solutions that make a real difference for customers.

When it comes to leadership and relationships, Ian believes in treating others the way he wants to be treated. Listening carefully and understanding a customer’s needs before recommending a solution are at the core of how he works. By combining technical knowledge, integrity and genuine care for people, Ian helps ensure that every Millwood partnership reflects the company’s values of service and trust.
