In Loving Memory of Our Dear Friend and Outstanding Colleague, 
Ian Mark Carey, Resident General for the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth


It is with deep sadness, and with profound gratitude for an extraordinary life of service and contribution, that we honour the memory of our Resident General for the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, Mr Ian Mark Carey, who passed away on 30 December 2025.


Ian was far more than a Resident General and Director. He was an exceptional personality who left an indelible impression on all who had the privilege of knowing him. For more than ten years, he guided our operations across the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth with professional excellence, visionary leadership, infectious energy, and genuine warmth.


Ian possessed the rare ability to recognise the potential in every individual and the courage to pursue bold ideas. His charisma, wisdom, humour, and unwavering dedication helped shape the very heart of our organisation. He did not merely lead; he elevated others and paved the way for our shared success.


While we mourn his passing, we also celebrate the remarkable legacy he leaves behind. His spirit, vision, and inspiring belief in people will remain forever anchored in the core of our group and in the hearts of all who knew him.


Beyond his professional achievements, Ian’s greatest pride and joy was his family. His deep love for his beloved young wife, Beth, and their beautiful daughter, Gabrielle, “his little one”, was the true anchor of his life. The happiness they brought him shone through in everything he did and reminded us all of the values that truly matter.


Thank you, Ian, for your outstanding service, your leadership, your light, and your friendship.


You are deeply missed and will never be forgotten.
