Miles is very very good in his field and we were sad for us and excited for him when he moved to his next career challenge :-).

Miles and I worked closely together on many projects during our time Seeley International both for evaporative and retail products. Miles has an excellent attention to detail and in depth knowledge of electrical products and motors. This is both in technical and legislation aspects of the above products. Miles follows time plans and reports the status to senior management in a clear and concise format. Miles’ attention to detail is also demonstrated in root cause and countermeasure activities, both internally and with suppliers. This was key to the successful motor development with a Chinese supplier where logical ‘ keeping it simple ‘ made a complex product easier for the supplier to make and therefore the success of the project. Working together with Miles, and his logical thinking, as a Supplier Quality Engineer was invaluable to the business as strong development team. I would highly recommend Miles to any business that has the need for a logical and through project engineer.
