"First time I used Neil for art work was this year. Recommended by a friend- And will definitely use again, very professional, amazing quality art work and a lovely guy.
Even when I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted he came up with some amazing ideas.
I have used Neil for simple blackboards, small seasonal stuff, menu changes, refresh projects, and major investments - his board work, wall art, graphics and air brushing are excellent (as is a private commission I have hung on my wall at home)
Neil does not only produce quality work, but is also reasonably priced and has worked fantastically alongside my pub teams, our marketing department, our design team, and several different contractors.
