In 2007 Ian created the UK RumFest, the world’s first international rum festival in London attracting rum companies from all over the world. This festival went on to inspire rum promoters from all over the world to create their own versions of Ian’s RumFest including the Rum Renaissance in Miami,Florida, the Berlin Rum fest in Germany, the Paris Rum fair in France and the Rum show in Rome, Italy. Ian has also personally helped to launch rum festivals in the Czech Republic, Hong Kong and Mauritius.
