OAM
He was inaugural President of the Mount Gambier Homes, Ryder and Cheshire, from 2004 until 2018, and also served as a Director on the Ryder-Cheshire Australia Board for 14 years.
In Neville’s words he says, ‘ It is hard to think of the OAM without reflecting on the support behind me. However, it has been an enjoyable journey, with a great team, and one which I would gladly repeat’.
This award was richly deserved. Neville’s dedication, sense of purpose, compassion, foresight and drive to get the job done is a testament to the Ryder-Cheshire Mission, ’for the relief of suffering.’
Congratulations Neville on being honoured as a recipient in this year’s Queen’s Birthday Honours.
