Ian Curnow, BA (Hons)

Mining Searches Manager, Groundsure

Ian has been assessing historical mining risk for thirty nine years.

He began in 1986, joining Cornwall Mining Services Ltd immediately after leaving school. There he was focused mainly on Cornwall mining risk areas. Here, he gained the foundations of interpretation that allowed him to move into assessing risks for different types of mining throughout the country at Mining Searches UK. Ian remained there until moving to Groundsure in 2020 where he leads a team of expert consultants providing coal and non coal risk assessments throughout the UK.
