On continuing to develop the Egbert Taylor brand abroad,Brendan Murphy, Chief Executive at Egbert Taylor, comments: “As many UKcontractors continue to import low-cost, lower quality containers from countriessuch as China, Egbert Taylor appears to be bucking the trend by exporting tocustomers that appreciate British build quality, and understand the durability and performance ofEgbert Taylor’s products. Having been proud of our Made in Britain credentialsfor many years within the UK, it seems that this message is now widely resonatingoverseas, which is fantastic news for the business and great for the localeconomy.”
Egbert Taylor’s established UKsupply chain provides the raw materials, including the steel used to produceits 4-wheeled bins, before manufacturing every unit on its 20-acre Oak Parksite. With an export team headed up by Matthew Young, Egbert Taylor’s GroupExport Manager, the firm expects 2019 to yield a significant amount ofinternational orders.
Matthew adds: “With our export programme, we’re looking to leverage the strengths associated with Egbert Taylor’s quality, partnership programmes and exceptional customer service, and we want to take that message to a wider audience. Whilst the UK remains and always will be our key market, there are countless other markets on the global stage that now want to benefit from what our UK customers have profited from for decades. We’re really excited about the potential offered by growing our global customer base and all signs, including our order pipeline, point towards continued growth over the next 12 months.”
