IT ALL STARTED

In 2002, a group of independant senior Executive Search and Human Capital 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 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.

TAPLOW NAME AND LOGO

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 doomsday book in 1086 the village was

originally Anglo Saxon and is steeped in history.

Our logo is inspired by the Tulip Trees that can be found within

the Taplow House Hotel grounds, the trees were initially planted during

the reign of Elizabeth the 1st and have stood the test of time, weather,evolving economies and nations.
