Pick Everard Appoints New Building Services National Director
Pick Everard has announced the appointment of a new national director of its building services engineering team.
Joining the leading independent property, construction, and infrastructure consultancy, Justin Neil brings 24 years of experience to his new role with a background in design and construction, including four years in Doha, Qatar, where he worked closely on its widely celebrated National Library.
Justin's responsibilities are to lead and develop an industry leading building services team, growing the 90-strong team nationally, and delivering a consultancy service fully aligned with the requirements of its clients.
Talking about his new role, Justin said: "Across the many projects I’ve worked on in my career, I’m still yet to see a wholly cohesive 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."
Beginning his career as an M&E apprentice in 1999, Justin made the move into consultancy in 2006 and holds three degrees to his name; a bachelor's in building services engineering and two master's in electrical building services engineering and BIM and integrated design.
A Chartered building services engineer, Justin has most recently held appointments in single service engineering businesses but has chosen to make the move back to a multi-disciplinary consultancy to have greater agency on project delivery in a leadership role – a move that has been welcomed by his colleagues.
Andrew Almond, partner at Pick Everard, said: "We are absolutely delighted that Justin has joined us. I can see that he will fit seamlessly into our senior management team and his talent, experience, and drive will be a real asset to Pick Everard. I am looking forward to working alongside Justin, collaborating closely on our objectives to develop our team and to deliver a service of excellence to our clients across the UK and beyond."
