60 seconds with Brentwood Communications' James Miller
James Miller, Brentwood Communications' managing director, discusses his time in the two-way radio industry
How do you spend most of your time at work?
I like to be quite hands-on, so my time is divided between clients, suppliers, attending management meetings and working on projects. We have an excellent team and I enjoy spending time with them.
What’s the one gadget that you can’t live without?
Definitely my phone. I’m mostly out of the office, so it means I can stay in contact easily with my team.
Describe your most unforgettable project.
It was a system we supplied for the MOD in Kabul, Afghanistan. We had to design and supply it within a very tight deadline. There were around 30 repeaters, masts and several hundred hand-portables, but we managed it.
What’s the most unusual thing you’ve seen while working in the radio sector?
We have a very wealthy client based in the Middle East. I first met him at his apartment in West London, where he answered the door just in his pants and a shirt. That’s how he stayed for the entire meeting, while his family sat there smoking shisha pipes.
