Meet The Team

Taylor Managing Director
Jonathan Taylor
Managing Director (The Boss!)

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.

Beth Linder

Beth returned to Taylor Higson in 2023, having previously been part of the team just before the pandemic.
