Meet Neil
As the founding director of P34B Ltd, I’m intent on ensuring the people and business we work with succeed through project management.

I achieve this through effective project management. Concurrently and voluntarily, I lead a Northwest Network of Project Professionals.

Meet Steve
As the Projects & Networks co-ordinator for P34B, I ensure our project portfolio is managed and monitored effectively and consistently. Whilst maintaining our systems, I ensure our projects adopt the fundamentals of P34B’s project management framework. With a passion for supporting people, I facilitate our industry placement projects and skills programmes. Driven by a passion for supporting people and emerging talent, I’ve transitioned from hospitality to education and am now coordinating projects, at P34B since 2022. My proactive planning skills and commitment to unlocking potential guide my current focus on developing my own skills on the project management fundamentals and gaining certification. My collaborative approach and proficiency in creating structured communities makes me a dynamic team contributor, ready to make a meaningful impact.
Meet Chris
As the Digital Project Lead for P34B, I enable our leadership team and clients to reconcile and gain insight from existing data. Whilst addressing the agile demands of our business and clients today, I am enabling both to create digitally proficient capability for tomorrow through the delivery of all technical content on our Skills Bootcamps. With a solid foundation in manufacturing and a revitalised professional path post-university, I’ve thrived at P34B, utilising past skills while embracing data analysis, systematisation, and digital product creation. In a short time, I’ve transitioned from an eager student on industry placement to leading technical projects, managing clients, and guiding others in skill development. My journey exemplifies the boundless possibilities when given the chance to grow.
