Neil Dashfield

Neil is a focussed, and energetic individual with an impressive, proven track record in automotive management, consultancy, and training. An excellent communicator, who excels at gaining results through influencing and developing others, and an accomplished presenter with a highly motivational style. He is even a JLR Accredited Trainer (Distinction), and speaks “polite Arabic”, “elementary French”, and “basic Chinese”.

Neil is an enthusiastic advocate for great customer experiences that create a demonstrable difference in the mind of the customer. He also adopts this mantra when designing and delivering training, using accelerated learning principles, to ensure that attendees are engaged and involved from the outset. “The best training should be participant-centred” he comments, adding “The more the participants speak, the better, I aim for a 70/30 split of participants to trainer, training after all, is about the participants, not the trainer”.

He’s a highly experienced Coach who revels in working with teams and individuals to facilitate real development & positive change. Neil’s experience and personal development have been gained from being involved in the automotive industry his whole working life. His passion, commitment and integrity, are cornerstones of his approach to his work with clients, all of which ensures that the development and changes they seek, are delivered and are permanent. 

Outside of work, Neil enjoys motorsport, specifically rallying, having competed to international level as a leading Co Driver, Scuba diving (although, he openly admits, warm water diving only!), working on his 51-year-old MGB GT, and gardening, but only under direction from his wife!
