He is the founder and CEO of Adderstone Group, a property investment, development, construction and management business based in Newcastle upon Tyne and London, United Kingdom.[1] In 2007, Baggett was recognised as North East Entrepreneur of the Year for his work with Adderstone Group.[2] Baggett has previously served as a commissioned officer in the Royal Navy in Hong Kong and also had a career as a full-time professional tennis player.[1] Upon completing his stint in the Royal Navy, Baggett expanded his real estate investments. His first property deal was based on a dissertation he wrote at Durham University on the geography of student accommodation in and around Durham city. [3] Baggett founded the Adderstone Group in 2000 and currently serves as the company's CEO.[4] As of 2018, Adderstone Group controls more than 70 companies. Early life and educationBaggett was born in Chopwell Woods, an area between depressed mining villages in Tyne and Wear. He was educated at Hookergate Comprehensive and was the first person in his extended family to attend university. Baggett was educated through the miners’ strikes and subsequent recession, which had a devastating economic impact on the North East. In the early 1990s, Baggett pursued a degree in Geography at the University of Durham. For his undergraduate dissertation, Baggett focused on student accommodation in County Durham. Baggett turned his dissertation into a business plan, using it to acquire a loan of £12,000 in order to build his first property. [3] By the time he finished his studies, he had renovated and owned five properties.[1] Baggett is a graduate of the University of Durham, having studied Geography as an undergraduate member of The College of St Hild and St Bede from 1991 to 1994. In his final year as an undergraduate, Baggett was selected to play tennis for the British Universities’ team and earned a Full Palatinate in 1994. In 1999 he earned a doctorate in Political Geography from the same university, under the supervision of Professor Ewan Anderson and Professor Gerald Blake.[5] PhilanthropyIn 2007, Baggett founded Adderstone Foundation to support a range of community and sport-based initiatives in the North East.[6] As of 2018, the Adderstone Foundation has donated nearly half a million British pounds to initiatives such as NEVITC[7] and Northumberland Tennis.[8] CriticismsThe real estate industry has faced questions regarding the sustainability of student properties such as those built by Adderstone Group and other developers.[9] Baggett’s company also faced opposition for its brownfield housing proposals on the site of the original Greggs Bakery in Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne.[10] Personal lifeBaggett resides in Newcastle with his wife Nicola and children Charlie, Elena, and Emilia. Baggett is a keen sportsman and avid tennis player and has previously competed in professional tennis tournaments. He was Durham and Cleveland Junior County Champion and Northumberland Senior County Champion. Today he plays in senior international tournaments and has represented Great Britain’s national team.[11] Ian credits his experiences on the tennis court with helping him achieve success in the business world. He is a veteran of the UK Iron Man, competing in 2009.[12] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.thejournal.co.uk/business/business-news/ian-serves-up-aces-property-4563141|title=Ian serves up the aces in property|date=17 July 2006|accessdate=28 December 2015|publisher=The Journal}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Entrepneur of the Year|url=http://www.entrepreneursforum.net/hall-of-fame/entrepreneur-of-the-year|accessdate=8 December 2018|publisher=EntrepreneurForum|date=17 July 2006}} 3. ^1 {{cite news|url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/can-newcastle-sustain-amount-student-9823998|title=Can Newcastle sustain the amount of student accommodation planned for the city?|last1=Ford|first1=Coreena|date=17 August 2005|accessdate=28 December 2015|publisher=Chronicle Live}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.adderstonegroup.com/who-we-are/our-people/|title=Our People|last1=Group|first1=Adderstone|date=17 August 2018|accessdate=6 December 2018|publisher=Adderstone Group}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/4739/|title=Durham e-Theses - Durham University|language=en|accessdate=13 June 2018|year=1998}} 6. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.adderstonefoundation.org.uk/|title=Adderstone Foundation|last1=Foundation|first1=Adderstone|date=17 August 2007|accessdate=3 December 2018|publisher=Adderstone Foundation}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=https://www3.lta.org.uk/in-your-area/DurhamCleveland/Archive/2013/September-13/Charity-Donation-Sets-North-East-Visually-Imapired-Tennis-Club-On-Road-To-National-Competition/|title=Charity Donation Sets North East Visually Imapired Tennis Club On Road To National Competition|last1=Association|first1=Lawn Tennis|date=16 September 2013|accessdate=3 December 2018|publisher=LTA}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.adderstonefoundation.org.uk/projects/historic-tennis-tournament-returns-to-northumberland-club-for-119th-year/|title=Historic tennis tournament returns to Northumberland Club for 119th year|last1=Foundation|first1=Adderstone|date=17 May 2014|accessdate=3 December 2018|publisher=Adderstone Foundation}} 9. ^{{cite news|last1=Ford|first1=Coreena|title=Can Newcastle sustain the amount of student accommodation planned for the city?|url=http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/can-newcastle-sustain-amount-student-9823998|accessdate=28 December 2015|publisher=Chronicle Live|date=17 August 2005}} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Ford|first1=Coreena|title=£10m housing plans for old Greggs site in Gosforth look set for refusal|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/business/business-news/10m-housing-plans-old-greggs-13931627|accessdate=8 December 2018|publisher=Chronicle Live|date=21 November 2017}} 11. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.itftennis.com/seniors/players/player/profile.aspx?playerid=10025885|title=Ian Baggett Profile|last1=Tennis|first1=ITF|date=17 August 2018|accessdate=3 December 2018|publisher=International Tennis Federation}} 12. ^{{cite news|url=https://archive.tri247.com/results_6769.html|title=Ian Baggett Profile|last1=247|first1=TRI|date=2 August 2009|accessdate=3 December 2018|publisher=TRI247}} External links
