Neil joins Pointer after a period as director with architects ADF Architecture and Design, a Glasgow based architecture and design practice.
Pointer Asia is the recently created vehicle for developing business in south east Asia on behalf of Pointer Limited, the integrated security system specialist with it's headquarters in Glasgow. Pointer Asia's recent appointment as installation contractors for all security systems on two new prisons in Thailand has provided the opportunity to develop new business in this region and Neil's extensive regional knowledge will ensure future growth of business in the region.
Neil explained, "The prison work gives us a solid foundation, add to this our well qualified local staff and the support of senior management in the UK and I am confident that we can meet growth expectations. Pointer's technology-driven approach to systems integration will be well received in Thailand."
His family will soon join him in Bangkok and he hopes take up football again in his spare time, a passion he admits he follows "more as a spectator than a player" than he did in his days as captain of Scottish Universities and at Arthurlie and Ardrossan Winton Rovers.
