Neil Attwood
LINEBORING MANAGER
Neil finds the best part of his job is being on the road and meeting new people. He enjoys the rapport he develops with customers, whether it's with the site managers or the guys on the shop floor. One of Neil's favourite projects was realigning the boom on a massive port crane in Perth, but he enjoys any project that presents challenges in scope, location or technical complexity. Neil is married with two young children and likes BMX riding when he has time.
Bill Voschezang
LINEBORING LEADING HAND
Bill has worked at Active since 1996. While he’s responsible for the lineboring team he still enjoys being hands-on with the tools and working on customer sites. He is devoted to whatever he does, and spends a lot of time liaising with customers and ensuring that materials and resources are available to complete projects on time and to a high standard. Bill’s two daughters have left home now, and he spends his leisure time tinkering with anything mechanical, especially European cars.
"Being a small business we do things on a more personal level, and this flows through to our customers."

Steven Neville
GENERAL MANAGER
Steven founded the company in 1992, along with two other directors. He could see a gap in the market for someone to provide quality engineering with better service standards than anywhere else. He believes the company adds real value by being accountable for an entire project, offering a wrap-around solution without relying on subcontractors or external suppliers. Steven likes working on his lifestyle block and using his earthmoving equipment, and is a big fan of Porsches which reflect his business philosophy of quality and reliable engineering.
“Because of our comprehensive project records and continuity of staff, we can easily replicate a job we did 10 or 20 years ago.”
