All about Miles
Following yesterday’s announcement that Miles Hampton was quitting as chairman of Forestry Tasmania, Tasmanian Times reproduces an earlier article by Peter, first published as part of this article here. It was unchallenged for accuracy at the time
Miles Hampton with Premier Lara Giddings
Miles Hampton, chairman and director of those three water boards, from which he earns over $200,000, is a very busy boy indeed … being connected to 22 boards in 5 different organizations across 7 different industries.

The new chairman of Tasmania’s water and sewerage corporations says his salary is appropriate for the amount of work involved.
Miles Hampton will be paid $140,000 to work between one and four days a week from next month, when he replaces the outgoing chairman, Geoff Willis.
He has been a director of the corporations since 2008.
Mr Hampton says it will be a busy job.
“It’s four roles, four separate boards, it’s liaising with the government and the council owners and they’ve taken advice on what the appropriate remuneration is and I’ve been happy to accept that advice,” he said.
A spokesman for the corporations’ owner councils, Tony Foster, says the money is justified.
“When someone is working for a board, particularly as a chairman, the amount of time that they devote is really up to making sure that that board works right and they take forward to their meetings well thought out progress for the way we’re going in the future,” he said.
“Miles will bring that, he’s very experienced, not only in governments, but finance and he brings to this position exactly what the owners were looking for.”
