For too long, men have fallen behind when it comes to addressing their health. We ignore niggles and hide worries. We man up, instead of opening up.

Offering complete discretion, authorised treatments, and reliable medical advice, we aim to tackle the taboos associated with a number of male health conditions; ED being the first of many. The causes may be complex, but the solution doesn’t have to be.

At By Miles, we are on a mission to make driving fairer and we think it’s time that car insurance was done differently for low mileage drivers.
Offering a fairer kind of car insurance since 2018, By Miles is the UKs leading pay-by-mile car insurance provider, making car insurance more cost-effective and easier to manage for people who drive less.
By Miles was voted UKs best car insurance provider & best insurance app at the Insurance Choice Awards 2020 and 2019.
Our people are at the heart of what drives our business. So, its not only our mission to make driving fairer but to be a fairer kind of employer too.
How do we do this? We start with what we believe in, our Virtues.
These are the things that really matter to us. We call them ‘virtues’ rather than ‘values because they’re not just aspirational words, but things we already do and have committed to keep doing. We decided on these virtues as a whole company, so there’s no corporate waffle, just a basic set of shared beliefs that guide us in everything we do.
Respect.
We challenge with kindness, making sure everyone feels safe and included. We support each other.
Fairness.
We own up, we don’t blame. We’re humble enough to take feedback on board, and respectful enough to give it. The next big idea could come from anywhere, so everyone’s opinion matters.
Growth.
We take time to learn so that we can improve ourselves, our colleagues and our products. We’re not afraid to make mistakes if it gives us the opportunity to grow.
Efficiency.
We consider before we start, whether that’s interrogating details to save confusion down the line, or getting help from others.. We make decisions using data, not opinions, and we use our time wisely, always staying focused on the end goal.
Ambition.
We’re clear in our vision. We’re never afraid to challenge the status quo if it will help us make things better.
