Neil Heritage | Speaker Biography

Inspirational military speaker and resilience advocate
Founder of Climb 2 Recovery organisation
First double amputee to summit the Matterhorn
Neil Heritage is a military speaker known for his resilience and achievements following severe injuries sustained during his service. He served in the British Army for 11 years, with deployments in Bosnia, Northern Ireland, and Iraq. In November 2004, while part of a bomb disposal team in Iraq, he was injured in a suicide bombing that resulted in the amputation of both legs above the knee. This made him the most seriously injured soldier to survive the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Despite being told he would never walk again, he underwent a five-year rehabilitation and eventually learned to walk.

After leaving the military, Neil founded Climb 2 Recovery (C2R) in 2016. The organisation supports wounded soldiers in their rehabilitation through climbing and adventurous challenges, helping many find new careers in the outdoor industry.

Neil has also achieved significant milestones in adventure sports. He has competed in triathlons, learned to ski, and qualified as a scuba diving instructor. Notably, he became the first double above-knee amputee to summit the Matterhorn, reaching the peak in 2020 after two previous attempts in 2016 and 2018.
As a speaker, Neil shares insights from his military experience, rehabilitation journey, and adventures. His talks cover topics such as injury, recovery, the formation of C2R, and overcoming adversity. He is in high demand for motivational speaking engagements, focusing on perseverance, goal setting, and teamwork.
Neil's story of survival and achievement has inspired many, establishing him as a significant figure in the military and inspirational speaking. His commitment to supporting wounded soldiers through C2R and his personal accomplishments have solidified his legacy as a hero and an inspiration.
