New Diploma Development Manager
29 Nov 2006

Ian Moores has joined Cogent SSC as Diploma Development Manager.

Ian joined the offshore Oil and Gas gas industry in 1989 working as a Mud Logger for Geoservices. He left the industry in 1991 to undertake a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Geology at the Camborne School of Mines in Cornwall. Following this he returned to the North Sea working as a Data Engineer for Halliburton SDL, finally leaving the industry in 1999.

Ian then undertook a PGCE at Manchester Metropolitan University, retraining as a teacher. Until his appointment with Cogent he was Head of Geography at a High School in Worcestershire where he taught for six years.

Ian said:  “Diplomas offer a real opportunity for employers to get involved in education. This new qualification will help Cogent and the companies in our sector to increase the attractiveness of careers in our industries. Diplomas will show young people the choices that are open to them and will lead to them becoming both become both academically and vocationally competent.”

Ian has even spent some time as a signmaker, a sub-sector of the polymer industry, part of Cogent’s footprint.

He is married to Emma and has 2 year old son Dylan. He lives in Cheshire.
