Kevin Miller began as a crane operator with Hewden working for the company in the Bristol and Scotland regions, later qualifying as an Appointed Person, before moving into training. In his time he trained and assessed a great number of crane operators and APs across the central belt of Scotland and elsewhere. After leaving Hewdens he became a fully qualified training instructor and NVQ assessor and worked with Sarens UK as training manager for a short time, leaving last August. Since then, he has worked as a self-employed trainer under the M.T.S banner.

Speaking of his passing one ex colleague said: “Sad news. Definitely someone who had a positive impact on a lot of people’s careers. A big loss.”

His funeral was held in Taunton on the 12th of October.

We would very much like to do a better tribute to a man who was clearly well liked and a crane industry veteran. If anyone would to provide more information both on the man himslf and family, or his career, we will be happy to update and broaden this tribute. please email [email protected] with any information or photographs.
