Meet The Team
IAN WESTWOOD - DIRECTOR
TWO is owned and run by Ian, a former Chief Immigration Officer with the UK Immigration Service. Ian has a wealth of experience gained through ten years of front line immigration work, in addition to ten years of private consultancy experience. As a former member of the Home Office staff, Ian has lots of interesting anecdotes that make his training unique (and surprisingly interesting!).
Ian is a regulated advisor with the OISC. He can offer advice on all personal immigration matters except for asylum claims. He is regulated to the highest possible level, meaning he has rights of audience at immigration tribunal.
LUCY WALMSLEY - DEPUTY DIRECTOR
Lucy is our second-in-command (i.e. she redirects Ian from chasing rainbows). Lucy is a regulated advisor with the OISC and a Chartered Member of the CIPD. Having previously held responsibility for immigration compliance at the University of Southampton, she has useful experience of the hoops and hurdles of compliance.
Lucy advises our corporate clients, delivers training, and conducts audits. She is responsible for all our technical content; her mission is to simplify Home Office jargon and save clients from the frustration of navigating the immigration rules.
Helen McLaren - Customer Experience Manager
Helen keeps the business running smoothly while we are often out on client sites or delivering training. Her role is to help our corporate clients get the support they need - whether that is booking training, an internal audit or redirecting queries to whomever is best placed to provide the relevant advice. Helen is super efficient and very friendly – give her a call to find out how we can help you.
Our Casework Team
CAT IMHOFF - Casework Manager
Cat oversees the administration of all our casework. Her team works closely to prepare applications on behalf of our clients for all their visa requirements.
Cat is another point of contact for all enquiries, specialising in individual applications. As with all the team, Cat is very friendly and approachable, so send her an email today to find out how we can assist you.
Zara Everington - Casework Administrator
Zara supports Cat with the administration of all our individual client's visa applications. She works hard to ensure applications are processed with all the required paperwork and helps make the process as smooth as possible for clients.
Recruiting Now - Technical Administrator
We are looking to expand the casework team and are recruiting for a Technical Administrator. This role will support casework administration, and support Lucy in keeping all our technical content up to date (thank you UKVI for the ever changing rules to keep us on our toes!)

Passport Proven
Passport Proven is an Identity Document Validation System. It is our sister business and was founded in 2013 to provide a tool to assist those with a need to establish the right to work or the right to rent in the UK, or to verify the identity of an individual. It is also of use to staff at universities and colleges dealing with student admissions.
How does it work?
Passport Proven is an interactive web-based, document-scanning app. It analyses features in a passport, biometric residence permit (BRP), EEA identity card and visa; thus helping our clients to establish the authenticity of a document and help a client establish the statutory excuse.
We know our stuff!
Our extensive knowledge of forged and counterfeit documents that we have developed through our work at Passport Proven forms the basis of many of our services here at TWO. It also means we can deliver interesting and informative training, as delegates have the opportunity to see examples of fake documents first hand. Find out more.
