This is why it’s such an achievement to have their interior design recognised by one of the industry’s most recognised award ceremonies, the Automotive Interiors Expo Awards. Commenting on the news, Callum said: “It’s an honour to receive this award. I find it hugely gratifying that Jaguar Design has been recognised for interior design. This award celebrates the world’s finest designers, innovations and products in the automotive interiors field. “The interiors of Jaguars have always been very special places for me personally, and so it has been essential to create new, fresh ideas, while maintaining the warmth and fun that is true to the brand. We set out to create interior environments that not only work well but create a sense of theatre and occasion.” Born in Dumfries, Scotland, Ian studied Industrial Design at Glasgow School of Art and tailored his talents with a two-year course in automobile design at the Royal College of Art. His outstanding performance at the Royal College of Art led to him being recruited by Ford in 1978 and he spent 12 years working in the company’s design studios before going on to work at Ghia, TWR and Aston Martin. Ian joined Jaguar in 1999 and under his direction Jaguar Design has taken the brand into an exciting new era.
