As a Chartered Civil Engineer with more than three decades’ experience delivering major transport and infrastructure projects across New Zealand and the UK, Neil founded Vitruvius in 2012 with a clear purpose: to build a consultancy grounded in trusted relationships, strategic clarity, and consistently high performance. Under his leadership, Vitruvius grew into a 60 person professional services firm recognised for disciplined governance, delivery excellence, and a culture that empowers people to do their best work.

In January 2026, Neil transitioned from an operational leadership position into full time governance role, ensuring continuity of the values and relationship driven ethos he instilled from the outset. In this capacity, he provides independent governance oversight—strengthening strategic direction, sharpening risk and assurance frameworks, and supporting the Managing Director and senior leaders as they carry the business forward. Throughout every stage of his career, Neil’s hallmark remains unchanged: a deep commitment to clear goals, strong relationships, and the delivery of meaningful, high quality outcomes that endure.
