He has set-up, managed and led major projects with values in excess of £250m.

Neil is able to draw on his professional contracting experience to quickly understand the technical nature and context of a construction dispute and to focus on the relevant issues.
Each dispute resolution case which Neil undertakes requires a tailored application of his leadership and management skills to facilitate the most appropriate process and gain the engagement of the parties. Neil is adaptable and proficient in all roles as a dispute resolver and is keen to provide clarity at each stage.
Outside work, Neil spends most of his time with his family and supporting his children's various extra-curricular activities. Neil is also a Samaritan’s listening volunteer and rugby union referee.
