Having had a huge interest in running footwear whilst being a serious athlete and having worked in the sports trade from the mid 1980’s, Neil opened Sportlink for business in 1994 so as to provide a first class service and professional advice on all aspects of footwear and equipment for runners and sports people.
Away from his working and sporting life, he spends a lot of time organising charity raising events to help local causes particularly for animal and rescue centres what with him being a huge dog and animal lover. One such charity event being the renowned Felthorpe Boxing Day Hare & Hounds Fancy Dress Cross Country Run. Since the first running of this very unique race in 2002, this crazy but huge fun event has become a must do run for many runners throughout Norfolk.
More recently I have rediscovered my joy of running and now couldn’t imagine a world without it. I run with Waveney Valley AC and having just completed my Leader in Running Fitness, hopefully will be running with the Sportlink Halesworth Running Group soon as well as helping with beginners at the club.

Massive thanks to Katherine for all the help she gave me yesterday, she spent ages finding the right pair of trainers for me, and made me feel so at ease! Thoroughly recommend and will most definitely be back! Plus I'm a little in love with my new trainers
Thank you to Karen for your patience and help today. A review of my old trainers, numerous runs on the treadmill and lots of trying on I finally settled on another trusty pair of Brooks. Amazing customer service. Thank you.
