Based in Benfleet, Essex, he will be instrumental in driving Roxtec’s growth strategy across the region and his core focus will be on elevating infrastructure resilience and environmental standards in a variety of sectors including ports and airports, advanced facilities, water management works and civil construction.
Mr Neville will be responsible for managing customers’ specification requirements, business development and overseeing on-site installations and applications across clean rooms, battery plants and sewage treatment plants. This is to ensure testing and compliance are conducted in line with industry safety standards, contributing to Roxtec’s mission to protect lives and assets. He has a strong background in construction and a wealth of experience gained by working in a wide range of industries over the course of his 18-year career, where he honed his skills as a regional specification manager and sales specification manager.
Clive Sharp, Roxtec’s managing director, said: “We are looking forward to building our presence in the south of England with the strategic appointment of Stephen to drive growth across industry. We have seen demand across infrastructure increase in this region in recent years, with London being a real gateway for vast amounts of projects, which he will be instrumental in supporting.”

Mr Neville said: “Roxtec is a global market leader so I am delighted to join the business. The team is supportive and offers exceptional ongoing training around all of Roxtec’s products and services. Every day is different and I hope that my expertise — aligned with a commitment to sustainability - propels the organisation’s mission to be a true frontrunner in the infrastructure domain. I am dedicated to driving growth and sparking innovation with impactful solutions.”
