OfficialWire: Business Leaders: Business Networkers Mourn Ian Hendry, The Man Who Started And Created We Can Do Biz

Ian Hendry

I met Ian Hendry a month or two ago at a business networking meeting arranged by Business Scene in Datchet, an area on the way to Windsor.

At this event their were a number of different networks presenting their various portfolio, and among them was We Can Do biz with Ian it’s founder and creator standing in.

I remember standing in a group of three, next to Ian who was a genial guy, and subsequently collaboration started.

I later had a look at his networking site and joined, to becoming a full member in the last week.

I heard from Chris Butler his business partner that Ian had contracted meningitis in the UK, and then by email that he had died after a short illness at John Radcliffe Hospital Intensive Care Unit in Oxford.

I was to put it bluntly – gob smacked! I just could not believe it – he was in his late 30s early 40s and hardly the man to die.

Ian had something, an idea that he had spent considerable time on, and he was after all an internet guru.

Looking at his profile, a hologram appears – here is a man, immortalised in the net, an entrepreneur who will never die, a visionary who started something that business owners use to communicate.

Our deepest sympathies are with his family and friends.

I will miss you Ian definitely – goodbye my friend…
