Name: Ian Frederick Wright
Job Title: Managing Director
A bit about me… I’m really passionate about design and what makes people tick
Some interesting facts… I was brought up in South Africa as a kid (I went to the South African Grand Prix at the age of 1!). I came back to the UK in the early 70’s and was lucky enough to get a job in a design studio. I became the official photographer for Sunderland AFC from 1978-1994. I met Norman Wisdom and wore Bob Stokes’ famous tracksuit and mac from the 1973 cup final. I’ve been the MD at Rufus since 1988. I love retail anthropology and Interior Design. I own a classic 1962 Vespa which is the same age as me – but in much better nick.
