CBI chief visits West Midlands environmental services firm ››

Richard Lambert, Director-General of the CBI (Confederation of British Industry), has visited Droitwich-based Taylor, the UK’s market leader in waste and recycling containment solutions, to see first hand how the company is helping to meet the government targets to divert waste from landfill and reduce carbon emissions.
Taylor, which was founded some 45 years ago, today designs, manufactures, supplies and rents a wide range of recycling and waste containment solutions for local authorities, private waste contractors, housing associations, and developers involved in regeneration and construction projects.

On 30 October 2007, the requirement for businesses to pre-treat the waste they produce became a legal requirement, meaning business waste must be recycled. Taylor is the leading provider of solutions that enable businesses and waste contractors to implement commercial recycling, through a complete recycling bin system known as the Taylor System that goes inside and outside business premises. The need for such a bin system to help businesses recycle more was clearly identified in a recent survey of 800 UK businesses conducted by YouGov and commissioned by Taylor.

Product innovation at Taylor has been supported by major investment in a lean manufacturing program, enabling manufacturing to be agile to respond to customer’s needs and to remain UK based. Taylor has also invested in the development of support services to deliver added value solutions as public and private sector organisations strive to meet recycling legislation, improved sustainability and the delivery of improved efficiency and value for money.
Dr David Gillett, Business Development Director at Taylor, added: “Our business has grown significantly as we have focussed on meeting our customers’ needs through continual improvement of our service offering and the creation of solutions for emerging issues, such as commercial recycling. Due to the global issues of the environment and climate change, we are also experiencing significant demand for our products overseas.”
