Neil Hammerton
CEO & Co-Founder of Natterbox since its inception in 2009. Neil leads by example and is very much a 'hands on' CEO.
Inspired by
Anyone who has a 'can do' attitude in life - regardless of what area they apply that to. In terms of well-known individuals, Ranulph Fiennes & Richard Branson are high up the list.
Outside of Work
Neil has a passion for daredevil pursuits including micro lighting, paragliding and hang-gliding (he represented Great Britain in 2004). He is also has a love for skiing, running, five-aside football, cycling and rowing.
Career
Neil’s career started with BT where he obtained an HND in electronics, but he didn’t continue in traditional employment for long. At heart, Neil is an entrepreneur and this has led him to set up and run four successful business ventures. The most recent, prior to Natterbox, saw Neil set up a cloud-based security and compliance business (specialising in email and later web) at a time when 'cloud' was then known as managed, hosted, SaaS etc (there have been a lot of name changes over the years!). Neil was one of those early business leaders that pioneered cloud-technology which has transformed the way businesses consume technology - moving away from traditional on-premise hardware and software options. The model Neil has stayed committed to at Natterbox.
Neil specialises in identifying market opportunities then developing and delivering technology to meet those needs.
