About Niel

A bid professional with some 20 years' experience leading major, strategic deals, across the UK and Europe. I engage on opportunities of all shapes and sizes, with a focus on tech, telco, BPO and fintech, spanning both public sector and enterprise.

I got into sales by firstly working in delivery roles, a brilliant foundation and springboard for business development.

I am based in Worcestershire, but happy to travel according to business needs. I have a preference for short or medium term assignments.

My interests include running, cycling, climbing mountains, travel and renovating my house!
