Finding the Right Leaders to Shape Tomorrow
Taplow And The Tulip Tree : Our Brand Story
The Taplow name is derived from our inaugural conference held in 2002 in Taplow, UK, on the banks of the River Thames, a short distance from Windsor Castle. Mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, the village was originally Anglo-Saxon and is steeped in history.
Our logo is inspired by the Tulip Trees found within the grounds of Taplow House Hotel. Originally planted during the reign of Elizabeth I, these trees have stood the test of time, weather, and evolving economies and nations.

Our Journey :
How It All Began
In 2002, a group of independent senior Executive Search and Human Resource consultants began a dialogue over the state of the industry, and how they could combine to offer high value, highly differentiated search and consulting services – locally, internationally and globally.
Considering all of the other models in the industry, our founders decided on an incremental approach to building a global business and founded The Taplow Group. They set out a number of standards and procedures by which we all adhere and abide by – that remains true today as it did on the 1st day of our being.
