Miles Hunt, Chairman, The ARM Group:
 
“ARM has been one of the most successful UK-based firms I’ve seen during the last couple of very challenging years, achieving admirable growth in difficult market conditions. Three things attracted me to the business: the success of the firm, the ambition of the management team, and the belief that I can add value with a plan to complement the businesses’ future growth.
 
I identify closely with, and have a lot of respect for, ARM’s senior management team - a group of people with whom I feel I have much in common, especially in their desire to deliver excellence internationally.
