Bio
Irina Altayeva
I know Neill since 2014 as a dedicated member for the Basra Gas Project team whose knowledge of Global Project Logistics is on the high level and gained experience clearly shows that he is highly qualified. Not only has he been a key player on the team, but he also has become a friend to everyone. Neill, as a person with vision, is committed to quality, growth and progress, and also, he inspires the team members to strive for the same. Neill always looks to maximize his skills and knowledge. He can plan, create, and execute any project which requires the maximum efforts, persistency and time. Neill has a very good knowledge of the general and project freight forwarding, customs rules legislation of GCC countries and not limited to which are the inalienable part of our job. Neill’s skills, attitude to work and professional qualities would make him an invaluable addition to any Projects Team. It was a pleasure to work with Neill, he is honest, straight and professional. I would consider him to be a great asset to any company with complete confidence.

It was a pleasure working with Neill during his tenure at Bertling Logistics in Dubai. During this time, he was involved in multiple projects being the latest one of the biggest projects in Iraq. His knowledge, skills, hard work and commitment were really appreciated. He always stood out from the rest. Neill is a person with a strong ownership and driving for results all the time. He can address everything from the big picture to the details. Neill is solutions oriented and highly motivated with excellent communication skills. I have no doubt recommending Neill to any future employer.
