"For me those cultural changes of an organisation or any group of people are the most precious moments....."

"Looking back 11 years and what the forestry unit looks like today; they are two different worlds. I hope the people will see and understand the difference by themselves, and value it"

"Every period comes to an end and you can be extremely proud of what you have achieved and experienced both professionally and as a person"

"It is hard to imagine SEGX without you, and I am really grateful for your invaluable contribution not only to SEGX, but the whole SE forest society. I also enjoyed a lot working with you and the team during my visits to China. The forestry circles are small, and even though Australia and Finland are geographically far away, the forester spirit does not have those limits"

"The relationship between a chairman and CEO is critical to the success of an organisation and I have developed a great trust in Ian ........ but also because of his undoubted integrity and honesty. As a qualified forester, Ian also has considerable technical knowledge in all facets of forest management having managed a significant world class plantation estate"

"Many thanks for good cooperation and friendship during many years! You can indeed be proud of the achievements made over the years in a very challenging environment"

"From the beginning of my professional career with Gunns Limited in 2003 I have enjoyed leadership of a few key individuals. My career thus far has exceeded my expectations and I have you to thank for most of that, if not all. Values instilled in me from your leadership include work ethic, professionalism, thoroughness and relationship building."

​

 "I hope that you can reflect on your career thus far positively, and recognise the influence you have had on a whole range of people, a range of people I know would be much broader than simply foresters. The plantation estate you have built for Tasmania will provide many opportunities for rebuilding an economic base once more".
