How long have you lived in Spain and how long is your business established?
[ Ian ] I have lived in Spain for nearly 4 years and the business was established more or less staright away, so I have been trading for about 3 1/2 years.
Why did you choose Marbella?
[ Ian ] I actually live in Coin, as I am a country boy at heart. I chose Marbella as the place to do business because of its busy exciting atmosphere. There are also a lot of pools!
Tell us your greatest business or personal accomplishment?
[ Ian ] I started this business with no investment, but within 3 1/2 years I have built a huge business.
Why would you recommend the Costa del Sol for business and Lifestyle?
[ Ian ] The costa del Sol has everything that any body could want. Its a great place with a great atmosphere- and its warm, most of the time.
If you could change one thing about Spain, what would it be?
[ Ian ] I don't think its fair to try to change a place to suit you, you have to adapt to the place and except that you are in a different country and things are done differently. It can be frustrating at times but we are not in England any more.
Describe yourself in 3 words.
[ Ian ] Short and Handsome
What is your favourite Restaurant in Marbella?
[ Ian ] Out of Africa Restaurants
What is the last film you saw at the Cinema or DVD?

What advice would you give to someone moving to Spain?
[ Ian ] Try it for a while first, maybe rent before you think about buying. Make sure you do like it.
Name one other business you would recommend on the Costa Del Sol and why?
[ Ian ] I don't think it would be fair to reccomend just one, as so many businesses have been so good to me.
