Meet The Malt Miller Team

The Malt Miller was established in 2010 by Rob Neale, driven by his discovery of the joy of homebrewing beer. Rob’s passion for brewing the best beer at home and sourcing the finest ingredients directly from suppliers led to the founding of the business. This passion for freshness and high-quality ingredients, along with a commitment to serving the creative and enthusiastic homebrewing community, are the cornerstones of the business today. We continuously seek out the best items to stock, provide insightful and educational content, and ensure timely delivery of orders. As a business that prioritises people—both customers and team members—we want to give you a little insight into the awesome people behind each and every order you place.

Be sure to check out our awesome YouTube Channel where the team from The Malt Miller take you though a vast amount of information from how to videos, brewing insights, equipment reviews and collaborations with some of the UK’s finest Craft Breweries.

You can also keep up with everything we’re doing here over on Facebook, Instagram and X (Twitter)!

Have A Great Brew! 🍻

Senior Leadership

Rob Neale – Founder, Managing Director

Passionate, driven, and fun! Rob keeps the business moving in the right direction and is the main force for change and innovation here at The Malt Miller. He loves to play with pens, equipment, and machinery but also has a very deep desire to keep giving back to our community of amazing home brewers here in the UK and wider. He also has the ability to generate some of the most bizarre noises uttered by a human. Outside of work, Rob loves anything with an engine, barbecuing, tennis and of course his family.

Jo Neale – Co-Owner, Director

Our driver and organiser here in the team, Jo is always keeping one eye on the future and helping everyone here achieve the goals we have whilst getting stuff done. A natural born organiser with an eye on the details and the ability to get to the root of the matter in a heart beat! A lover of Gin and Gluten-Free Beer, away from work Jo has a keen interest in horses, being outside and Emergency Service Vehicles (don’t ask…). But alongside Rob, their main passion is for their two wonderful children.

Martin Rake – General Manager

Stalwart and focused, Rakey will always be a significant figure here at The Malt Miller, a massively keen and experimental home brewer who has helped bring significant enhancements to the customer experience and logistical side of the business. Away from TMM, you’ll find him regularly sampling beers from all corners of the globe, traveling with his wonderful wife Jo, seeking out amazing restaurants to try, having a cuddle with his beloved Whinnie (Cockerpoo) and of course barbecuing and cooking… oh and occasionally watching Villa win something with a ball…

James Stiff – Operations & Marketing Manager

The wearer of many hats here at The Malt Miller, and we’re not just referring to his vast collection of caps. An avid homebrewer, who loves nothing better than to smash out hazy hop bombs or creating new recipes to brew, both for himself and for all of our customers. You’ll regularly see James (Stiffo) at events with a camera in his hand or buzzing a crowd with our drone. When he isn’t behind or in front of the camera, Stiffo is also our HR guru and looks after the warehouse operations helping the warehouse team to get your orders out. When not at work James is a dab hand at DIY, an awesome cook in the kitchen or over the BBQ, and loves taking his whippet Griffin for walks to the pub with his wife Laura and his two girls.

What makes us different?

After homebrewing for a couple of years, proprietor Robert Neale became disillusioned with the poor quality of ingredients and equipment available to the home brewer.  Rob set out to find only the very best ingredients and bespoke equipment available with a vision to then sell those quality ingredients to other home-brewers at an affordable price.

Quality and freshness is at the very heart of the business.  We don’t just source the very best available – we also store and prepare our ingredients so they arrive at your door in peak condition.

We ship throughout the UK and offer next-day and Saturday delivery, together with free delivery for orders over £65.  We also ship across Europe, U.S.A, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. See our delivery costs.
