Meet The Team
Jonathan is the boss around here, so we keep our humour tame to stay in his good books, that being said, the clutter on his desk absolutely does not reflect his deep understanding of the Print, Direct Mail and Packaging markets.
In 2012, Jonathan founded Taylor Higson solo. He built our reputation by expanding his network of clients and candidates, believing in organic growth and the proof is in the pudding. Today, Jonathan leads our thriving team of experts, proving his vision right.
Unlike some bosses, Jonathan dives into the work and supports us all. He’s approachable, supportive and keeps things relaxed, we couldn’t ask for a better “top dog”.
Outside the office, Jonathan is a dad to two, towering at 6ft 7 – perfect for dominating on the basketball court and standing out in a crowd. He’s also a car enthusiast who enjoys sunny days with a Corona in hand.
Laura leads our Technical recruitment division, specialising in the Print, Packaging and associated technology markets across the UK and Europe.
Joining Taylor Higson in 2019 as a Senior Consultant and progressing to Director in 2022, Laura has more than 15 years’ recruitment experience and has built an extensive network across the industry. She works with everyone from independent manufacturers and growing SMEs through to global OEMs, suppliers, and some of the biggest names in print and packaging.
Her particular strength is finding the people who aren’t easy to find. From field service engineers, technical specialists, and skilled production professionals through to industry specific senior talent, Laura has an in-depth understanding of the market and a reputation for getting to grips with even the most niche or difficult-to-fill brief.
She supports clients with everything from a single critical hire to nationwide recruitment campaigns; new site builds and ongoing hiring strategies. Straight-talking, commercially minded and genuinely invested in getting the right result, she’s equally happy advising a client on the market as she is disappearing down a rabbit hole to headhunt someone with an incredibly specific set of skills.
Within Taylor Higson, Laura is one of the driving forces behind the business, a huge supporter of the team and if you have a question, she usually has the answer.
Outside of work, she spends most of her time with her fiancé Chris, friends and family, and her cats George and Gus. She’s never not planning her next holiday, loves a documentary or tv series, a crispy rosé wine, and a wild night out.
Yasmine is our powerhouse Director of Sales & Client Services, she has racked up an impressive 16 years of experience specialising in the Print, Packaging and Direct Mail sectors, she has experience covering all levels of hire, specifically Sales and Client Services.
As the Queen of the Print, Packaging and Direct Mail sectors of our business, she knows all the ins and outs in the current market. She works very closely with her clients across the UK, Europe and US, she builds trusted relationships with them in order to deliver the very best talent to their door. From a Candidate’s perspective, she’ll get to know the real you, find out your best qualities and your career goals to ensure you are matched with the best opportunities and clients. She is a very personable asset to our team and maintains her Client and Candidate relationships very well.
When she’s not placing the best talent in the industry, she is kept busy with her two children. She is our top baker and always wins first place in our regular bake offs, she loves a spa day and her favourite tipple is a glass of bubbles or an espresso martini.
Beth returned to Taylor Higson in 2023, having previously been part of the team just before the pandemic – and this time, we’re keeping her!
As Operations Manager, it’s probably easier to list what Beth doesn’t do. If it isn’t recruitment, chances are it lands on her desk. From P&Ls, reporting and building management to systems, office operations and even physically putting desks together, Beth is the person keeping everything behind the scenes running smoothly.
To say she’s organised would be the understatement of the century. She has an uncanny ability to keep a million plates spinning at once, and if you need something from her, there’s a very good chance it’s already sitting in your inbox before you’ve even asked.
She’s also our resident CRM whiz, keeping everything shipshape, pulling reports, tracking the important stuff and generally making sure the rest of the team knows what’s going on. Throw in being the friendly voice at the end of the phone, chief problem-solver and unofficial “Clippy” of Taylor Higson, and you get a pretty good idea of Beth’s day-to-day.
Away from work, Beth is a HUGE foodie and loves trying new foods and discovering new places to eat – if there’s a restaurant recommendation needed, she’s probably your girl. When she’s not planning her next meal, you’ll usually find her gaming, buried in a good book or spending time with her nearest and dearest.
Organised, dependable and usually involved in absolutely everything, Beth is the glue that keeps Taylor Higson ticking along – and quite frankly, we’re not entirely sure what we’d do without her!
Nathan joined Taylor Higson in 2023 as part of our Technical Team and brought something pretty useful with him – five years of actually working as a printer. Having spent time operating smaller Heidelberg presses, he knows his way around a print floor and brings that first-hand experience to recruiting across the print, packaging and labels industries. After a successful couple of years, he was promoted to Senior Account Manager in 2025.
That industry background has proved invaluable when it comes to finding great production talent and understanding what clients actually need – rather than just nodding along when someone starts talking about presses! He’s built some brilliant relationships with clients and candidates alike and particularly enjoys helping people find opportunities that genuinely suit them.
In the office, Nathan can usually be relied upon for a quick comeback and to keep the team entertained. Outside of work, he’s our resident plant eater, loves hunting down a bargain at car boot sales for his latest DIY project, has a Jack Russell keeping him on his toes, and has recently added new dad to the list – so spare time is now something he vaguely remembers having.
Tayler, our vibrant Senior Account Manager, joined us as a Talent Resourcer in 2023 and was promoted to Senior Account Manager in 2026, she seamlessly integrated into the industry like ink on paper. Her extensive background in property sales, spanning over a decade, compliments her outgoing and bubbly personality, making her an invaluable part of our team.
Tayler plays a pivotal role in assisting recruitment leaders in finding top talent. With her years of experience in team management, coaching, and career development, she understands firsthand the importance of achieving the perfect client/candidate match.
You’ll hear Tayler’s infectious laugh before you see her and she always keeps us entertained whilst singing along to whatever is on the radio.
Outside of work, Tayler is a dedicated mother to two boys and a girl, she enjoys indulging in a good read, lively BBQs with friends and family and savouring a spiced rum or three.
Look who’s back… apparently, he just couldn’t stay away!
Scott returns to Taylor Higson as an Account Manager within our Technical Team, bringing more than seven years of recruitment experience and a suspicious amount of energy with him.
Working across the technical side of the print and packaging industries, Scott supports both clients and candidates throughout the recruitment process. From getting to know exactly what a client needs from their next hire to speaking with talented people about their next career move, he’s focused on making the right match rather than simply filling a vacancy.
Known for being personable, bubbly and able to get along with pretty much anyone, Scott is a natural relationship-builder who keeps recruitment professional without making it painfully serious.
Away from work, he can usually be found in the gym, hiking somewhere unnecessarily steep or trying out a new restaurant. He loves travelling, spending time with family and friends and, in a surprising recent plot twist, is now the proud owner of a Kindle – so apparently he’s a reader now too!
Welcome back, Scott — we’re not letting you escape twice!
Sadie joined Taylor Higson in 2024 as our Business Operations Coordinator and is one of the people helping to keep everything ticking along nicely behind the scenes.
Working closely with our Account Managers, Sadie supports the team with all things admin and helps make sure everyone stays organised and on track. Whether she’s lending a hand with day-to-day tasks, supporting the recruitment team or generally helping to keep things running smoothly, she’s always happy to get stuck in.
When she’s not at work, Sadie loves spending time with her partner Zac and their two boys, as well as heading out for walks with Ralph, her cocker spaniel. She’s also a big fan of holidays and exploring new places, especially when there’s a good restaurant involved! She loves eating out and spending time with friends and family – preferably with a Pornstar Martini or a glass of Prosecco in hand.
Ella is one of the most important members of the Taylor Higson team, bringing years of experience in sniffing out opportunities, boosting office morale and ensuring absolutely no lunch goes unsupervised. Ella takes her responsibilities very seriously. Whether she’s keeping a watchful eye over the team, providing much-needed emotional support or conducting thorough quality-control checks on any food that enters the office, she’s always ready to lend a paw.
While the rest of the team specialise in finding the very best talent across the Print & Packaging industries, Ella prefers to focus on finding treats, comfortable sleeping spots and anyone willing to give her some attention. Her approach to networking is simple but effective: make eye contact, look adorable and wait for the results.
Outside of her demanding Taylor Higson duties, Ella enjoys long walks, plenty of naps and spending time with her humans. She’s also partial to the finer things in life — particularly anything edible.
Reliable, loveable and always dressed for the occasion, Ella is a valued member of the Taylor Higson family and, quite frankly, the office would be a little ruff without her.
