And his business acumen has landed him a role on Dragons’ Den

But becoming a Dragon is simply the culmination of more than a decade of savvy decisions that have seen his business portfolio bring in tens of millions of pounds every year.

Neville owns a chain of hotels and townhouses after first getting into property development in his early 20s.

Among his prize assets are a string of hotels and development projects.

His investments include Hotel Football, a luxury hotel overlooking Old Trafford, and the stunning Stock Exchange Hotel near Piccadilly Gardens.

He is also part of the £120million St Michael’s Project, which aims to build apartments, hotels, offices and a high-end restaurant in the city centre.

However, the 48-year-old’s business stakes do not end there.

League Two side Salford City are perhaps his most famous investment alongside fellow members of the Class of 92′.

He founded “Relentless” – an investment company who specialise in ventures around the Manchester area – in 2015, while also running property and construction consultancy firm “Zerum”.

His use of the name “Relentless” has a particular affinity with Neville.

Writing on his website, he said: “‘Relentless’ is my favourite word and sums up my approach to life, business, everything really.”

He adds these vision and values “are embedded within the fabric of everything that we do”.

Neville even has his fingers in show production, co-founding Buzz 16 in 2017.

The Overlap, Class of 92 Full Time, Soccerbox, and other programs have given the firm credit.

He reportedly received £200 million in February in exchange for selling the bulk of his business.

He was a well-known investor in E3 Creative, a digital creative firm that specializes in online marketing and corporate strategy, prior to his departure from the company in 2019.

Neville started University Academy 92, an institution of higher learning, and experimented with hospitality management via GG Hospitality.

As of August of last year, the institution, which opens in September 2019, has 400 registered pupils.

It offers “broader courses than traditional degrees”.

He also owns luxury hotel ‘The Stock Exchange’

While he also co-owns League Two side Salford City
