Through hard work and initiative, Neil quickly became an efficient Accident Prevention Consultant in this Branch of the Service. His acceptance by clients and client organisations resulted in him being asked to work with organisations throughout New Zealand, for instance Land Corporation in assisting them to meet the requirements of the legislation we administer.
