I have known Neil for a number of years as he sits with me as a committee member of HR in Hospitality. Neil is always very positive, great at looking at the big picture, a good networker who always makes valuable contribution to the group.
Niki Fincham
I first worked with Neil in the start days of a hotel business, and Caterer.com was a new concept too. I always found Neil great at listening to my concerns, our business needs and be able to develop a package that worked for us. As our business grew, he kept in touch and was able to be flexible in what was offered to suit our changing company. As Caterer.com developed he has kept us in touch with how the new features may benefit us. Over time, Neil is very personable and great at handling concerns as they have arisen (not that there have been many) and it has always been a pleasure to meet with him. I have no hesitiation in recommending him. Niki Fincham, BDL Hotels.
