Leading the leaders
Sep 12 2007 By Andrew Mernin
To say Miles Templeman’s CV is impressive is a huge understatement. As a marketing specialist he has helped promote major consumer brands such as Daz, Ribena, Lucozade and Levi’s jeans.
He has served as managing director of retail giant Threshers and then climbed to the helm of the Whitbread Beer Company.
More recently he has held a series of non-executive directorships and consultancy roles at Royal Mail, Ben Sherman and Accenture before becoming chief executive of Bulmers which was ultimately sold to Scottish & Newcastle.
Today, as head of the Institute of Directors (IoD), Templeman is charged with helping leaders across Britain deal with the challenges of doing business in the 21st Century.
We caught up with management guru at the IoD’s recent North-East gala dinner in Newcastle to talk business, boardrooms and Brown.
