Outside of work, football has been a lifelong passion of Neil’s. His early ambitions were to become a professional footballer, training with Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham and QPR as a schoolboy before signing as an Apprentice with Southend United at the age of 16. A back injury ultimately redirected him towards a career in finance, a change that has proved equally as rewarding. To this day, he remains a committed football fan and lifelong Spurs supporter.

Passionate about running, Neil has completed the Great North Run four times and now sets his sights on conquering the Wainwrights in the Lake District. An enthusiastic traveller, he revels in the discovery of new places and cultures; an unforgettable safari in South Africa remains a highlight. His adventurous spirit and drive to explore new horizons make Neil an invaluable asset to the finance team.
