In 1973, Cowpland and Terry Matthews founded Mitel Corporation, a company that developed and sold electronic PBX systems. Initial success made both founders millionaires.[2] Sales peaked at $250 million, but over-expansion and development problems saw the company bought by British Telecom.
Both Cowpland and Matthews left the company in 1984 amid disagreements with the owners.[citation
