About Neil

ACME STUNTS INC.

SAFETY IS PARAMOUNT

Following my father’s transition from the military in 1978 as a highly decorated officer and receiving the MBE for his distinguished service, our family became deeply embedded in the outdoor pursuits industry. From the age of six, I underwent extensive training across multiple disciplines, including canoeing, water skiing, climbing, abseiling, firearms handling, sailing, windsurfing, and archery. Under my father’s guidance, I developed a high level of proficiency in each sport, earning the highest available qualifications in every discipline I later taught.​

​This foundation instilled in me a profound understanding of skill development, safety protocols, and risk management principles that seamlessly translate into the stunt industry. My dedication to health and safety, particularly in high-risk environments, has been a driving force in ensuring that both performers and crew operate under the safest possible conditions while maintaining the creative integrity of each production.

​

With 17 years of experience in the stunt industry across both the UK and Australia, where I hold the position of graded assistant coordinator in Australia, I have cultivated extensive expertise, deep industry knowledge, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. Throughout my career, I have contributed to a diverse range of productions, gaining invaluable insight into the complexities of executing high-risk sequences. My leadership experience, combined with my passion for training and development, has provided me with a well-rounded perspective on the industry's evolving needs.

​

As a dedicated member of the British Stunt Register, I take great pride in upholding its values with integrity and professionalism. The BSR has long been a cornerstone of the stunt industry, setting critical standards to safeguard both performers and production teams.

​

Beyond my stunt career, I have successfully founded and managed two multi-million-dollar companies, This experience has equipped me with a strong foundation in business operations, financial management, risk assessment, and strategic decision-making. Leading these ventures required exceptional leadership, problem-solving skills, and the ability to navigate complex challenges, competencies that further enhance my ability to manage high-stakes environments within the stunt industry.
