About Millmead
Curiosity As A Mindset
One of the most noticeable differences between past and present is the pace of change. Rather than resist it, our approach has always been to lean into it.
For James Conway, CEO, curiosity and continuous learning are central: “Be curious, be humble, keep learning. You don’t know it all and pretending you do is a mistake.”
People At The Centre
What was once a small operation is now a business supporting hundreds of people and their families with this culture carrying through,
From the earliest days, there has been a strong emphasis on relationships, whether with employees, partners or customers.
