Tributes were paid this afternoon to the former chairman of one of Shropshire's biggest manufacturing firms, who has died after a battle with cancer. County-born industrialist Arthur Miller joined GKN Sankey in Telford after World War Two and worked his way from the drawing office to the top of the company. At the time, the Hadley Castle firm was one of the largest businesses in Shropshire. It employed thousands of people making components for the motor industry. Today Mr Miller's son David, a partner in Shrewsbury-based Miller Evans estate agents, paid tribute to his father, who died on September 1. "He went from the bottom to the top at one company which nowadays isn't done so much," he said.
