Miller joined the group in 1975 and has been chief executive since 1994. He will leave the post at the end of March. In 2005 he received a CBE for services to the construction industry in Scotland and to charity.

Miller said that he was very pleased with the excellent progress shown by the group’s three businesses.

“We have strong management teams in place in Miller Homes, Miller Developments and Miller Mining, each of which is led by its own chief executive,” he said. “I am looking forward to being able to report further impressive performance from Miller Homes and our other businesses when we announce our final results for 2014 in a few weeks’ time. The group has experienced tremendous growth over the past three years and the time is right to pass the leadership of our businesses to the respective management teams.”
