Who am I?

I am a Director for Steven Hunt Associates. I joined the practice in 1998 after serving a five-year apprenticeship with a national contracting company, qualifying as a Building Services Engineer in 1996. I have extensive experience on a wide range of projects of varying size and complexity.

Meet The Directors - Neil Baines

I have experience in the design of mechanical services and in the development of the detail, producing working drawings, specifications, and liaising with other members of the professional team. I also perform the role of a Senior Project Engineer, overseeing both mechanical and electrical design work and installations on site. I am the in-house CDM Coordinator and I ensure each project complies with legislation.

My personal favourites

  • Favourite sports team - Everton
  • Favourite book (Business) - The last one I read was ‘Quiet - The Power of Introverts in a World that Can’t Stop Talking’
  • Favourite band/artist/song - I’m not sure that I trust anybody that only has one answer for this, I own hundreds of records, and have been to loads of concerts. It’s impossible to pick one. The band at our wedding let us pick two songs that we wanted them to play and I asked for Rocks by Primal Scream and She Bangs The Drums by The Stone Roses. I can recommend them as Indie dance floor fillers.
  • Favourite restaurant - Moose for breakfast, and Mowgli for anything after that!
  • Favourite holiday destination - The USA

 

My top five dinner party guests, dead or alive -

  • Howard Kendall

  • Billy Connolly
  • Barack Obama
  • Nelson Mandela

…My celebrity crush is Kylie Minogue.

 

My proudest business moment

My proudest business moment is becoming Director of the company that I have worked at for over 24 years.

 

Advice to younger me

My advice for 18-year-old me would be... Hang in there and back yourself because you’re on the right path. It might take you longer to achieve the things you want than you’d like, but it will be worth it in the end. There’s a few horrible things coming up that you’d give anything to change, but you’ll gain a new perspective by living through them.

 

My business hero

I only follow Steven Bartlett and Simon Sinek on Linkedin, so I’d have to say them!
