BIOGRAPHY: IAN WALKER Ian Walker was born in Chesterfield, England in 1956. His father was chief clerk for a brewery in the town and his mother was a ballet teacher. He went to Chesterfield School before gaining a place at Leicester University where he studied Chemistry and Maths. After graduating he got a job working in the laboratory at Truman's Brewery in Brick Lane London. The following year he transferred to Watney's Brewery in Mortlake, where he moved into the sales department 18 months later. A variety of sales roles then followed until eventually he ended up as Regional Sales Director for Scottish and Newcastle in the West Country based in Bristol. All this came to an end in 2006 when aged just 50 he suffered a stroke and had to give up work. After 12 months of physiotherapy he felt sufficiently recovered to buy a pub in the North York Moors along with his wife Eunice. In the eight years that they owned it they achieved listings in both The Good Beer Guide and the Good Pub Guide. They also were in The Times list of the top 50 places to eat in the British Countryside. In 2016 he decided to retire and move back to Chesterfield where he hadn't lived for 40 years. He and his wife now live just around the corner from the house where he grew up. His first Novel If Only They Could Talk was published by Clink Street Publishing in May 2020.
