Senior appointment to drive growth for property consultancy firm

Pick Everard has hired a new national director for its building services engineering team.

Justin Neil, who has 24 years of experience in design and construction, including four years in Doha, Qatar, where he contributed to the National Library project, has joined the property, construction, and infrastructure consultancy.

He started as an apprentice in 1999, then transitioned to consulting in 2006. He holds three degrees: a bachelor’s in building services engineering, and two master’s in electrical building services engineering and BIM and integrated design.

Neil said: “Across the many projects I’ve worked on in my career, I’m still yet to see a whollycohesive delivery approach done well. It’s one of the key reasons why I’m hugely excited by my new role at Pick Everard.The business is structured to focus on responding to clients’ needs uniquely, with one centre of communication and management throughout each project phase which is underpinned by an ethos of delivering better together.  

“My varied career and experience abroad has given me a unique, all-round perspective that melds well with Pick Everard’s multi-disciplinary approach. Having worked on all sides of the construction spectrum – for contractors, clients, and consultants – I’m ideally situated to hit the ground running and drive forward our department.”
