In memory of Jon Miller, 1962-2024
It is with the deepest shock and sadness that we must announce the death of Jon Miller, who passed away peacefully early on the morning of Monday 2nd September after a very short illness. We are devastated at his untimely passing.
Jon was a superb lawyer, adjudicator and mediator, with a love for construction formed from his earliest days as an apprentice at Matthew Hall after he left school at just 16. He retrained and qualified as a lawyer in 1989.
Jon affected significant change in the industry at some of its most transformative moments, including during the passing of the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996, when he lobbied Government on behalf of the construction industry, and during the Covid-19 pandemic, when he worked with the Construction Leadership Council on guidance for contractors.
He leaves a huge hole in our hearts. His passion, determination and good humour were infectious. He made an indelible mark as a partner, colleague, friend, long-suffering fan of West Ham United, and as an unwavering guide for his clients. Those who knew him will remember him as truly one of a kind.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Jon’s family, in particular Eve and Chloe.
Rest in Peace, Jon. We will miss you terribly.
A memorial service will be held at Temple Church, London, at 6pm on Tuesday, 26 November, followed by a reception nearby. All who knew Jon are welcome to attend. Click here for more details.
