Neil has worked his way up to from being the sole planner on a single scheme to leading a framework planning team. He has joined TWO PLUS TWO to further his career beyond construction planning with the desire to flourish in the field of delay analysis and dispute resolution for a growing and ambitious consultancy.
Neil always develops close ties with both the construction and commercial teams he works with, ensuring the planning element is optimised in each project he is involved in.
Neil spent a considerable amount of time on a major remediation scheme in Derbyshire, much of his time being spent producing delay schedules for many of the 400+ change events that occurred. He used the experience gained to ensure that time management was core to the strategy for success, recognising the importance of record keeping and collaborative planning.

In his spare time, Neil is dedicated to his family whilst also being a keen cricketer, golfer and cyclist. Owning 3 dogs keeps him busy and when not out walking them on Hadrian’s Wall he also enjoys undertaking his own construction projects at home.
