Introducing Dion Neill

Dion Neill is the founder and the driving force behind Code 1, The Neill Group and Protective Services, he is one of New Zealand's most experienced licensed private investigators and security professionals. Following many years contracting to various security and private investigation companies throughout New Zealand, Dion established The Neill Group to provide a range of nationwide security, private investigation, risk management and professional field services. 

Dion's career began with a period of service in the New Zealand defence forces, followed by training at the Royal New Zealand Police College, where he gained a Certificate in Investigation Skills. Dion has also been certified as a fraud examiner, and has achieved a Diploma of Security and Risk Management, along with other internationally recognised credentials in security, investigations and risk management. Dion has trained extensively with former police officers, qualified detectives, military personnel and government intelligence specialists. 

In the 1980s, Dion was assigned to protect a prominent Wellington business owner from serious threats of violence. This assignment was the catalyst for Dion to launch Protective Services to the market and further develop his interest in providing executive security and personal protection. A respected pioneer of the New Zealand security industry, Dion was influential in changing the government's licensing and training requirements for private security personnel. He remains a strong advocate for raising the benchmark of service delivery and professional standards within the industry.

In 1999, Dion moved on from the emergency services to accept a new challenge as a senior manager with Group 4 Security (known globally as G4S) until the company was acquired by Armourguard. In this role, he was responsible for leading a large security team and managing a number of key national contracts. You're in very safe hands! Dion and his trusted associates have worked as private security contractors in some of the world’s most volatile regions, including Asia, South Africa and the Middle East. In 1996, Dion personally managed the security for a New Zealand sports team on tour in South Africa.

Dion is a proud recipient of the New Zealand defence forces service medal, St John long service medal and long service award from the Wellington Free Ambulance. Dion has also been recognised for his contribution to the community as a volunteer first responder with the GoodSAM programme.
