I am wiring up the lighting circuit and I will be running 4 by 6 GU10s from a 4 gang dimmer setup. I will be running the lights from the switches and will therefore need to connect all the Nuetrals together. What is the best way to connect them together within the back box.

Do you mean 4 groups of 6 luminaires?
Use a 15A terminal block and don't forget to use a generously sized backbox.

So, 6 x 50W = 300W.
If you get a dimmer capable of dimming GU10's without derating, you will need 4 x 300W dimmers.
Not sure if they are available.
Failing that, you'll need dimmers capable of carrying 600W. Fairly sure these aren't available, unless you buy a 4 gang dimmer, discard the modules & fit the correct units in their place.
You'll need a deep box to allow for heat dissipation, too, as well as for the physical depth of the units & wiring.
