This week starts with another two former Post Office bosses. First up is David Miller. He’s already given evidence to the inquiry, appearing back in October 2022 when it looked at how the Horizon IT system was procured and rolled out.
He joined the Post Office in 1970 as a management trainee. By 1995 Miller had moved to the Horizon project, becoming its Programme Director in 1998 – so intimately involved in Horizon’s delivery.
The next year he became MD of the Post Office Network before moving on to become Chief Operating Officer. Miller will have known about the early technical problems with Horizon so what did he do with that knowledge when he got promoted?
Next we’ll hear from David Mills. He was hired in 2002 as Post Office CEO. A former banker, Mills was drafted in to turnaround the business, staying until the end of 2005, but this was also a period when hundreds of sub-postmasters were convicted. What was his involvement?
We don’t know much about either of these executives but they’re in the spotlight today.
