Having been a Client Sales Manager for Equifax since 2001, Neil has an in-depth knowledge of the business, including four years managing a number of accounts in the Mail Order, Telco and Retail sectors.

"Equifax has a great reputation for providing thought leadership and innovative solutions that enable clients to overcome the business challenges they face" confirmed Neil. "And we have built an enviable reputation in the Telco and Retail sectors in recent years.

"In the current climate, our clients are looking to us more than ever to use our expertise and wealth of experience to help them manage risk and acquire the most profitable customers. We do this by providing intelligent insight into what's happening with their customers, their competitors' customers, the industry and the economy as a whole.

"In particular, Equifax provides solutions that help businesses effectively manage their customers throughout the relationship lifecycle from recruitment and acquisition to collections and recoveries.
