Carl Taylor

Having qualified first as a Microbiologist and then as a Psychologist, Carl’s early career spanned research in Marine Microbiology with Shell Research, corporate strategic planning with Shell International and new ventures development with Shell UK.

From his foundation of internal consultancy within the Shell Group of Companies, Carl moved to independent consulting in 1990. Since then he has provided consultancy, coaching and training services to an extensive client list that includes Earls Court and Olympia, Hays PLC, The Royal Brompton NHS Trust, Kent Aerospace, Mersey Docks and Harbour Company, Reuters, London Underground, Virgin Atlantic and Viridian Biotechnology.

Carl’s expertise reflects his well-established business acumen in the areas of Business Strategy and Planning, Competitor and Collaborator Analysis, Organization Development, Executive Coaching, and Leadership Development Programmes.

In addition, to his consultancy and management development work, Carl holds a non-Executive Directorship with an international manufacturing firm, and is a School Governor.

On the ‘lighter’ side, Carl occasionally lectures in psychology and runs Personal Development weekends. This reflects his long-standing interest in developing the potential of others. He also sails - usually around the relatively tame UK shores, but once dodging icebergs in a stormy North Atlantic crossing!
