Consultant and strategist assisting organisations in making more astute decisions regarding cost, value, and change. Co-author of 'Smarter Spending' (Pearson, 2026).
Neil assists organisations in comprehending and optimising their resource utilisation. Over more than a decade with ERA, he has supported teams and clients across various industries to realise sustainable savings, cultivate supplier partnerships, and bolster long-term performance.
His work concentrates on the decisions, habits, and behaviours that dictate whether expenditure generates waste or value.
Neil is also the co-author of Smarter Spending (Pearson, 2026), which distils this experience into a pragmatic philosophy for formulating more astute choices regarding cost and value.
Drawing upon his extensive experience across ERA’s global network, Neil integrates analytical discipline with an inquisitive approach to understanding the operational dynamics of organisations. He possesses a track record of overseeing hundreds of projects spanning manufacturing, professional services, logistics, healthcare, and technology sectors, which enable clients to achieve efficiency without compromise. His work frequently centres on the behavioural determinants of cost: how assumptions, entrenched processes, and established habits influence organisational expenditure. Through this methodology, Neil empowers leadership teams to discern the broader context underpinning their data, thereby linking operational decisions to culture, strategy, and long-term outcomes. The tenets encapsulated in Smarter Spending mirror this perspective: they elucidate the conduct of individuals and systems, rather than solely focusing on budget administration. Although primarily addressing business costs, these principles constitute a universal framework for formulating more astute decisions in contexts where resources are constrained and impact is paramount.
