National Timber Group has appointed Tony Miles as Non-Executive Director.
Tony’s career in the timber industry began in 1979 when he joined a company that would later become part of Meyer International. Over the next four decades, he worked his way from the ground up — from kiln operator, to sales and product management, through to senior leadership. In 2007, he became Managing Director of International Timber, part of Saint-Gobain, and a decade later, he was appointed CEO of Archwood Group, a privately owned family business.
Tony said: “I have been fortunate to work across every part of the industry, meeting fantastic people and seeing businesses of all sizes grow. Becoming Managing Director of International Timber and CEO of Archwood are among my proudest moments – but equally rewarding has been watching colleagues develop their own careers and seeing customers flourish into strong business partners. My role [with National Timber Group] is to support Mark and the executive team, using the experiences I’ve gained to help the business prepare for future opportunities. The market may be slower than we would like right now, but history tells us it always recovers – and those who are ready will thrive.”
Mark Dixon, CEO at National Timber Group, commented: “Tony’s career is an inspiring story of dedication, progression, and leadership. His insight across every level of the timber industry will bring huge value to the Group. We are thrilled to welcome him to the Board.”
