In 1957, Ian Martin and Mary Masson connected to form a consulting engineering practice. When a building contract was abruptly cancelled in 1959, Ian and Mary responded with an entrepreneurial flexibility that still exemplifies the Ian Martin brand. They contracted out their engineers, helping to complete the Ford Motor plant in Oakville, and giving birth to the Contract Engineering industry in Canada.

At the Ian Martin Group, we believe amazing achievements are made when innovative people connect. Advances in technology and social media have opened up the world to the idea that we are all connected.

What we do is connect the right people to the right circumstances, at the right time. We do it by understanding that all business works only because of people, and that business to business is really just a fancy way of saying person to person during business hours.

We may not be scientists, engineers, developers or inventors. But we know a lot of people who are, and we’d like to know you. Think about it: the human possibility of people connected together around meaningful work. Our role is simply to make the links, and to find for each a place to flourish.
