Miles Brown

Coffin Mew

The past couple of years have been transformative for South and Thames Valley firm Coffin Mew. CEO Miles Brown is confident that the firm is on the right track to achieve its £20m turnover goal by the end of this year, following a 36 per cent rise in revenue since its merger with Newbury firm Charles Lucas & Marshall in 2017.

Last year, Coffin Mew introduced flexible working for its staff, eight weeks of paid leave for new fathers and same sex partners, and enhanced its maternity pay. These are all part of the newly launched employer value propositions programme, spearheaded by Brown, focusing on what its staff can offer the firm and what it, in turn, can offer back, through four pillars of engagement, productivity, excellence and wellbeing.

Brown will look to improve the firm’s service delivery too. One of this year’s objectives will be to introduce a new IT system, TickIT, focused on document and case management systems. Restless in his commitment to improve the firm every year, there is another potential merger on the horizon for Coffin Mew while Brown will also guide the firm through an office move in Newbury in 2020.
