Neville is 16 years old and started professional karting three years ago. His local Club is the West of Scotland Karting Club based at Larkhall, south of Glasgow. He races here at least once per month throughout the year as well as other tracks in Scotland at Golspie, Crail and Banff. The National Competition incorporates tracks in England and Wales. He races in the Junior Blue class of the NKRA (National Kart Racing Association) one of the most competitive racing classes in the UK.

In October 2009 Neville changed race teams  to LMM; a brand new team, managed by an ex-senior British Open winner Lenny Messenger. Combined with unbeatable reliability at LMM, Neville finished in the top three consistently.

The British Open Championship (The 'O' Plate) was a single weekend event held at Wigan at the end of March 2010 - Neville won this prestigious championship which qualified him to race with the "O" on his kart through the summer. He missed a regional race due to a school trip to Belgium in June which resulted in loss of cumulative points in the national championship. This 2010 season for the NKRA has been one of the closest on record. The UK Finals were held in South Wales over the August Bank Holiday weekend and Neville went down to the finals, placed 5th in the UK Championship. This "Finals" weekend consisted of 4 heats and a final race; due to a mechanical technical issue Neville was only able to compete in 3 of the heats which placed him on the grid in 7th place for the final race. He had a fantastic performance and finished over the chequered flag in 3rd place which resulted in an overall performance for the year and put him in 1st place in the UK. Hence he now races with the coveted "No. 1" on his Kart. He was presented with three separate trophies for the achievement over the finals weekend and has a total of more than 30 trophies for national and regional placements.

British Championship Achievements:

• 2008 - Ranked 15th in UK
• 2009 - Ranked 9th in UK
• 2010 - 1) British Open Champion
  2) British NKRA Overall Champion
