He is behind a retail empire that now spans six established brands across 1086 stores.
Specialty Fashion Group (SFG) Ian Miller will step down as non-executive director of the empire he co-founded.
Miller and SFG chairman Geoff Levy will not be seeking re-election at the next annual general meeting on November 17.
Levy has served as chairman since his appointment to the board in 2005.
Meanwhile Miller has served as executive director since 1993 to 2007 and non-executive director thereafter.
SFG CEO Gary Perlstein praised both executives for their contribution to the group.
"Ian Miller co-founded SFG in 1993 when the company opened its first two Millers stores.
"He has directly contributed to the extraordinary growth and success, to where the company is today, trading six established brands across 1086 stores in Australia, New Zealand, the USA, and South Africa.
"These achievements could never have been possible without Ian’s exceptional contribution.
"Geoff Levy joined the board in 2005. He has played a very significant role through the period of considerable growth and financial success.
"He has made particular contributions in our corporate and growth strategies, understanding the customer experience as well as championing the company’s growth initiatives."
Non executive directors, Anne McDonald and Michael Hardwick, have been unanimously endorsed by the board to succeed Levy as interim co-chairs of the company until such time that a replacement is appointed.
