Taylor’s Sales and Marketing Director, Julian Gaylor, will be leaving the bin manufacturer on 31 March 2015, to launch a new national waste management consultancy.
Gaylor joined the bin manufacturer in 1997 where he worked as UK Sales Manager before being appointed to the role of Managing Director at underground automated waste collection company Envac UK. He then re-joined Taylor in 2012 after the business was acquired by environmental investors Sullivan Street Partners and Oakfield Capital Partners, and continued to expand the manufacturer’s UK market share as Sales and Marketing Director.
Mark Jenkins, who has been working under Gaylor for the last three years, has been appointed to the role of UK Sales Director and will continue to work with Gaylor during the handover process. However, Gaylor will continue to work with the group on a consultative basis after his departure.
Gaylor commented: “Taylor has been a fantastic experience and a second home for many years however I leave knowing that the future of the business is now in safe hands following the full appointment of the senior management team. Mark Jenkins is an asset to the business and I have no doubt that the Taylor brand will continue to grow under his sales leadership. I now look forward to growing my own business and believe that Taylor will be a key part of that over the next 12 months.”
Brendan Murphy, Taylor’s Chief Executive, added: “Julian is a skilled professional who has proved to be a valued member of the senior management team and a passionate ambassador for the company. I know he will be sadly missed as a colleague and friend and on behalf of myself and everyone at Taylor I wish him all the best in his new venture.”
Gaylor’s departure is the latest in a series of changes at the company’s senior management level, following the appointment of Brendan Murphy as Chief Executive, and Richard Sanders as Executive Chairman.

How will the government and DMOs address the challenges of including glass in DRS while ensuring a level playing field across the UK?
There's no easy solution to include glass in the DRS while maintaining a level playing field. Potential approaches include a phased introduction of glass, potentially with higher deposits to reflect its logistical challenges. The government and DMOs could incentivise innovation in glass packaging design and subsidise dedicated return points for glass-handling. Exemptions for smaller businesses unable to handle glass might also be necessary. Any successful solution will likely blend several approaches. It must address the differing priorities of devolved administrations, balance environmental benefits with logistical and cost implications, and be supported by robust consumer education campaigns emphasizing the importance of glass recycling.
