Jonathan Taylor, of Taylor Higson, was the first recruiter that I helped set up in business as part of Davidson Gray in 2012. For the first two years, Jonathan worked on his own, waiting for the right first employee. Eighteen months later, Taylor Higson moved to a 30 person, brand new office to cope with the growth. The business operated in the Print, Packaging, HR, Manufacturing, Construction, Lighting and FMCG sectors. Although Taylor Higson was enjoying success, Jonathan felt that running and growing a generalist recruitment business was no longer the direction he wished to expand in. So, he set up a second stand-alone business with its own MD and Jonathan focused on growing Taylor Higson as purely a Print and Packaging specialist. Working on a new niche market strategy, Taylor Higson is now fixed firmly as one of the most respected and well-known recruitment companies in the Print and Packaging sector, with the second business now successfully running itself. With focused brand building, we now have the Taylor Higson website top of Google for most of the chosen search terms, making 2 placements every month from the site alone.
Choosing to partner with Rhys and Davidson Gray is by far one of the best business decisions I have ever made. I have extended my contract with Davidson Gray twice and cannot imagine working without them. Through the rapid growth of the generalist version of Taylor Higson, and the subsequent separation to 2 stand-alone businesses, I have benefited massively from Rhys’ experience. Every year I encounter new challenges and see new opportunities – change is a constant. I actually like it like that, but it really does help working with someone like Rhys, who seems to have experienced it all previously first-hand.
