A former Regional Development Director at a national PLC housebuilder, Neil has a comprehensive understanding of the land and development process. His real-world experience means he quickly identifies risks and uncovers opportunities—often from the earliest stages of a project—to add value and enhance marketability.
Neil acts as a trusted advisor to a wide range of landowners, guiding them through land promotion, appraisals, valuation, and development management. He works closely with clients, agents, and consultants to deliver results—pragmatic, collaborative, and always solution-focused.
Having once been responsible for a £1bn land portfolio across the East and South East of England, Neil knows how to unlock value and navigate the challenges of development. But it's his straightforward, engaging approach that clients value most—bringing clarity, creativity and confidence to every step of the process.
