Lead Engineer Neil Farrar - Background, Experience & Expertise
Neil began his career in 1997 at Newsmith Stainless, where he trained as a global mechanical field service engineer. During this time, he gained his first CORGI (now Gas Safe) qualification working with Lanemark and Riello burners on industrial wash plant systems within the catering sector.
In 2006, Neil joined Briggs Burners as a service engineer and quickly expanded his expertise to cover both commercial and industrial Gas, Oil, and LPG heating systems. Progressing to Service Manager, he gained extensive knowledge of:
Commercial and industrial burner servicing
Process burner repair and installation
Gas, Oil, and LPG boiler systems
Combustion controls and diagnostics
Planned maintenance for compliance and efficiency
This foundation of technical expertise and leadership provided the platform for launching his own independent business, focused on specialist engineering, safety, and customer service.
