Joining AA Projects back in 2008, Neil supported the business through a Management Buy Out, working with the previous Managing Director, Paul Allen, and the incoming team. Neil’s role has been central in maintaining the smooth transition of personnel and providing the company the footing to grow at a canter.

As Finance and Operations Director, Neil ensures the scalability of our projects and takes a forward-looking approach to the company’s growth. He oversees our Risk Management function internally to help protect ourselves and our clients from risk.

Neil was leading a finance team of 13 people aged just 26 and has worked his way up over the past 20 years. Neil has a strong eye for detail and is regularly called upon to lend critical thought to problems. He has a passion for supporting those who are newly qualified to thrive.

Fun fact: He's head of office snacks, is never far away from a Malteser, and can often be spotted sporting a bobble hat on the terraces at Turf Moor. He has also been responsible for our IT division, an experience that has been rich with surprises and development opportunity.

Neil is dedicated to making sure that the technical side of the business has support and works in harmony with the supporting roles such as finance, HR, and IT. In leading the risk management team, he is constantly looking to improve what we do and how the support teams can help the technical staff as they work.
