Miles 33 celebrates its 40th anniversary

September 2016, Bracknell, Berkshire, United Kingdom – Miles 33 is extremely proud to announce its 40 year anniversary. Founded in 1976 by Roger Miles Holland when he was 33 years old, Miles 33 has grown into an internationally acclaimed company with hundreds of satisfied customers spread across six continents. With a portfolio of products covering the mobile, Internet, newspaper, magazine, book, directory, radio, TV, credit management and legal industries, Miles 33 has built a loyal customer base, some of whom have migrated their software from early versions to the very latest available today.

Michael Moore, CEO of Miles 33 explains – “A track record of successful installations, on time and on budget, an innovative licensing model that removes financial risk and burden for the client, a product portfolio that is diversified enough to smooth out economic ups and downs in individual market segments, a stable management structure, a rational 3rd party acquisition strategy and a sensible corporate spending philosophy, have all contributed to our on-going success”. “It really is quite simple” he said, “we deliver what we sell, we operate within our budget and we do not buy companies that have competing products, that only confuses or upsets customers”.
