Hamish Taylor was trained in Brand management at Procter and Gamble, a Management Consultant at Price Waterhouse, Head of Brands at British Airways, CEO of Eurostar, and CEO of Sainsburys Bank.

All of the above he achieved before he was 40. In each case, he left behind a record of significant growth/turnaround. Triggered by a willingness to challenge industry/organisation norms, Hamish placed the customer at the core of all activities.

Dubbed the “master thief” by the Inspired Leaders Network. This was due to Hamish’s way of stealing ideas from one environment to use in another. These included  Yacht designers for aircraft interiors and also Disney to help with airport queuing. Also rugby referees for new approaches to risk/compliance.

Although specialising in Keynote Speeches, Hamish Taylor is also much in demand for Facilitation and/or Masterclasses (including interactive exercises). He insists on a briefing call in advance to ensure he can tailor his messages to your audience. Happy to spend as much time as possible to meet and discuss his lessons with you and your team. Hamish Taylor is a must have speaker.
