Finalists will be vying for an award in the volunteer, employee and team of the year categories.
And Neil, who is up for employee of the year, will find out if he’s won at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, May 16 at Telford’s international conference centre.
Neil said: “It’s both an amazing privilege and embarrassing to be nominated for this award.
“I come in and do my job and don’t expect people to vote for me, and to get into the final three in such a prestigious award is such an honour.”
