CEO, Director of Studies and Senior Business Coach
Ian Nock’s multi-faceted entrepreneurial career spans Business Consultancy, Business Communication, Healthcare, IT and Education. With years in experience in clinical pharmacy in the UK and as Chief Pharmacist at the renowned Matilda Hospital, he later moved to become Director of Medical Technology at eHealthcareAsia where he created and ran consumer and B-B internet portals for this listed health care company.
His entrepreneurial flair led him to set up his own business consultancy focusing on helping foreign based businesses become established in China. Seeing the need for improved communication skills in the global marketplace, he later started HKEnglish.Com. And in the middle of all this he found time to teach in major universities.
Ian’s people-focused acumen now focuses on the development of English language business communication skills to Asian executives, as well as corporate language and communication skills training solutions.
He has provided business skills coaching to numerous organisations in Asia, including multi- national banks, financial institutions, technology, legal and accounting firms. His decades in Asia contribute to Ian’s strengths in building bridges between businesses in China and those who want to flourish there.
His premise for life is to help people and at the head of HKEnglish.Com he is successfully achieving this every day.
