Our Picture Framing Team
Neil Collins
Neil Collins has owned and run Greenhill Galleries since November 2003. He is originally from Sussex but has been resident in Birmingham since 2001, via London.
Neil has an honours degree in Art History and has several qualifications from the multinational auction house- Sotheby’s. He has worked for Sotheby’s and was saleroom manager at Lots Road Auctions, Chelsea for several years, also working in valuations and auctioneering.
Following a stint in the Corporate world, Neil soon realised that his heart lay in the artistic and creative sector and decided to run his own framing business.
Greenhill Galleries is a family-run business with Neil’s daughter Anna recently joining the workforce bringing her artistic flair, IT skills and knowledge of Social Media to the business.
Greenhill Galleries is considered a valued part of the local community and both Neil’s children attended local schools. Greenhill Galleries has sponsored Birmingham Moseley Rugby Club since 2008, framing all their signed shirts and other memorabilia.

Greenhill Galleries donates their offcuts of glass to Moseley and Kings Heath SHED charity, which are used to make into terraria and stained glass objects. Greenhill Galleries also regularly supports local school’s promise auctions and the local Scouts and Explorers fund raising raffles with donations of framing vouchers to raise funds. We also donate offcuts of mountboard, mouldings and board to local schools and art projects.
Neil likes to support and champion local artists and has worked with many artists and photographers over the years, who have benefitted from his years of framing experience and expertise.
Neil is a keen cyclist, swimmer and runner and has taken part in several distance bikes rides, swims, running events and a triathlon and has raised many thousands of pounds in sponsorship for such worthy causes as Cancer Research, MacMillan, British Heart Foundation, QEHB Charity and Birmingham Hospice.
Neil enjoys hiking and has climbed several peaks including Mam Tor and Scafell Pike.
Neil is also a keen amateur chef and enjoys trying new cuisines and eating out. His other interests include travel, sport, gardening and looking after his cat ‘Falafel’.
