I worked with Niel at Ultra Electronics for five years. He is a resilient, highly self-motivated individual that is totally committed to the business and team. An excellent improvement leader, I witnessed him repeatedly achieved robust results through the use of recognised quality tools and techniques. He is strong relationship builder who encourages open and honest communication at all levels. A great leader. Ultimately an individual that makes a difference in everything he does. I hope to get the opportunity to support Niel again in the future.
