Neill and Brown | Serving you around the world, around the clock
“Hull is a great place to live and work”, says our Colin.
Name: Colin Moody
Job title: Managing Director
A little bit about yourself…
I am proud to say I am born and bred in Hull. After leaving school I joined Hull City AFC as an apprentice footballer. My professional career may have only lasted 2 years but I had a great time and brilliant memories of being there, apart from the day I was told I would not be signed on! Shortly after that I went for an interview with a transport company and was told I could have the job if I signed for the manager’s Sunday league football team. A year later I moved to Neill & Brown and 38 years on I am pleased to say I am still here and I am very proud to be the first non-Brown Managing Director.
