RETIREMENT AT KUBOTA

Keith Miller, general manager of Kubota (UK)’s aftersales business, has taken the decision to retire after 21 years of service.

In a statement Kubota say his career with them has been an impressive one, having started as assistant manager of service in October 2001, followed by promotion to service manager in May 2007. Throughout his time with the company they say, he has been instrumental in developing the service function into a larger, more professional and more streamlined aspect of the business.

Keith’s passion for helping individuals to develop their talent has seen the business recruit a number of technical apprentices and trainees in recent years, who have been able to forge a career with Kubota (UK) in both service, and R&D/compliance. With Keith’s guidance, many have gained recognition as Apprentice of the Year, and represented the UK business at the Worldwide Technician Skills Awards held at the Kubota Training Centre of Excellence in Osaka, Japan.

As the business continued to develop, Keith progressed to the role of general manager of Kubota (UK)’s aftersales business in 2019, as both parts and service functions were merged together in an all-new aftersales division. 

The company said of Keith, "His tireless devotion to the business will be missed when he leaves his role at the end of August."
