Director of Jaguar Design Ian Callum has been named "Industry Innovator of the Year" at the 2014 Motorcity Automotive Industry Night (MAIN) Event Awards in Detroit.
Callum was recognised by the MAIN awards committee for his service to Jaguar design. The ceremony took place at Orchestra Hall, Detroit, in front of an audience of over 700 automotive executives, designers and international media.
"Ian Callum has led the design revolution at Jaguar that has helped transform the brand, most recently demonstrated by the launch of the stunning F-TYPE Coupé. This is a brand that is going from strength to strength," said MAIN Executive Committee Chairman Keith Nagara.
Ian Callum said: "It is an honour to receive this award. It is with the benefit of having such a great team around me that we have been able to deliver the cars and designs that define Jaguar today."
Born in Dumfries, Scotland, he studied Industrial Design at the Glasgow School of Art. Upon graduating, Callum opted to specialise in vehicle design, enrolling at the Royal College of Art (RCA) on the Automobile Design course, and has since received five honorary doctorates from universities around the world.
