Testimonials
“Ian is a meticulous and probing business journalist with an eye for accuracy and an ability to cut through the PR froth.”
Carlos Alba
“Ian is a first rate business journalist with a bulging contacts book and a keen eye for a story.”
“Ian Fraser has written extensively about goings on in the HBOS corporate lending department. Given the hair-raising nature of so many of the stories that surround HBOS, it’s difficult to understand why it is only now that we have confirmation of some sort of regulatory enquiry.”
Eamonn O’Neill
“Ian Fraser is one of the most far-sighted, engaging and downright hard-working journalists in Scotland. He has spotted stories, uncovered scandals and written about them in a detailed and accessible way that leaves many in the dust.”
Robert Alstead
“We need more journalists of Fraser’s calibre, who are able to delve into the often arcane world of high finance and to take a strong, independent viewpoint. We may never see the perp walk that the British public richly deserves but, by keeping vigil, we might avoid sleepwalking into another financial crisis.”
"Ian Fraser is a tenacious, hard-working and extremely reliable. He is also a top writer and a jolly decent human being."
“It’s truly refreshing to read a mainstream financial journalist/commentator who isn’t still in thrall to the people who caused this mess in the first place!”

“Ian Fraser’s articles on China were excellent. They provided a better guide to the opportunities — and the risks — of private equity investment in China than anything else I’ve read.”

“Ian Fraser has written excellent material for our clients, including KPMG and SJ Berwin. His extensive knowledge of the business world and his clean, elegant copy are highly valued.”
“Ian Fraser’s Sunday Times column on Edinburgh was spot on! What planet does City of Edinburgh Council live on? Do they ever go outside their offices? Do they ever try and cross the road or drive around Scotland’s embarrassing capital? I hope he keeps giving them a hard time — they deserve it!"

“Ian Fraser’s Del Boy piece [“How the wheels came off at Standard Life“] was a real cracker – well done indeed.”
