FLOW saddened by passing of company stalwart, EK Miller
THE FLOW family is extremely saddened by the passing of Errol ‘E.K.’ Miller, executive chairman of the FLOW Foundation and government liaison on Monday.
Miller passed while being treated at the Intensive Care Unit at the University Hospital of the West Indies for a medical condition.
“This is a significant loss, not just for our company and foundation, but also for the many organisations that E.K. selflessly served. He was much more than a team member; he was our friend, confidant, adviser, and more to many of us. This is a sad day for Jamaica, but we take solace and pride in the incredible legacy that he leaves behind,” said Stephen Price, FLOW managing director.
In a statement, FLOW said Miller played a critical role in charting the history of the company during the 31 years he served; having first joined in 1987 as public relations manager.
He was promoted to head of corporate communications in 2001, and to vice-president of corporate communications in 2005. E.K. then held several senior roles in the organisation before again being promoted to vice-president of corporate communications with LIME Caribbean in 2011.
On his retirement later that year, he was appointed executive chairman of the company’s Foundation, “a role that he transformed as he spearheaded programmes that made a great difference in the lives of many. This was a passion of his, as he steadfastly believed in the potential of others and relished the opportunity to mentor Jamaicans from all walks of life.”
