Neill was saddled with an unusual spelling of his name because Barry, his father, was told by the registrar that it did not cost any more to spell his name with 2 L's and has always been thankful that Barry was not a fan of Johnny Cash's "Boy Named Sue".
Since entering the Security Industry at the age of 16 Neill has had many roles but looks as if he has had a few pies over the past few years too.
Neill is serious about making Smart R Distribution a success but is equally committed to enjoying the journey toward that goal.
LIKES: Living Life to the full, travel and cars.
DISLIKES: Dieting, public transport and negative attitudes.
FAVOURITE CAR: As a true petrol-head too many to list or fit in his garage alongside his current 4. Pride of place is given to his Harvest Gold Austin Allegro Vanden Plas.
FAVOURITE PLACES: Home, London, New York City, Cape Town, Las Vegas, almost any English Country Pub.
FAVOURITE MEAL: Neill rarely eats on an empty stomach and enjoys real ale along with hearty home-cooking. Neill is also very keen on Black Country Pork Scratchings...while the teeth cope anyway!
Derek was disappointed when "Only Fools And Horses" appeared on the telly - his life has never been the same since.
Having recently celebrated his 29th birthday (yet again) Derek wonders how he has managed to squeeze-in so much in such a "short time".
Being the "Techie" of the team he is the one who gets involved with anything that needs wire, screwdrivers, volts - and anything else of that ilk. What is really bad though is when he attempts to explain it all to us - as if we really want to know!! (yawn).
LIKES: Jazz, Motorbikes (he rides a BMW R1150RT tourer). Wallace wouldn't sell his bike and side-car unfortunately.
DISLIKES: Dentists, Drivers who don't indicate.
FIRST CAR: A 1964 Austin 1100 (a red one).
HOBBIES: Playing the trombone.
FAVOURITE MEAL: Steak & Chips.

Anne-Marie joined the Smart R Team in 2012 to manage purchase and sales order processing.
Anne-Marie previously ran the credit control team at a well-known card and reader manufacturer so she has heard most of the excuses from security system manufacturers and integrators but is still partial to an Irish accent
LIKES: Going to the races, wearing a fascinator.
DISLIKES: Shopping.
FAVOURITE SAYING: "I'm freezing, feel my hands".
FAVOURITE MEMBER OF BOYZONE: The one who chews the songs.
