Miles joined the business and immediately put it all on the line financially (including his Dad's house) to acquire a business which assisted with the growth and name change from Synlatex to SLG. Through the combination of the acquisition, product diversification and a focus on leading with design Miles and his team grew SLG to a turnover of £32m+.
From investing in his staff through one of the biggest open plan offices in the South West to investing in SLG Brands despite the pandemic, Miles leads by example.
