Melton began his working life in the personal care division of Unilever. [3] After 11 years he moved to Asda where he worked alongside Archie Norman at a critical juncture in the life of that company. [3] Melton’s peers at Asda included Justin King, Mike Coupe and Richard Baker. [3]

Melton joined Circle Health Ltd in 2008 and became CEO after the departure of Ali Parsa.
