Taylor Consulting

A Brief History

When I started programming games for our first computer a ZX spectrum back in 1983 at the age of 6 I knew I had a future in technology. After joining the job market in earnest and trying my hand at various posts around South Africa I gained just enough IT experience to be dangerous and headed out for greener pastures.

In 1999 I went over to London and after a few months of contracting in the IT market I joined a .com start-up which had just raised seed funding and had only 5 staff. Over the next 8 years the company raised several million pounds and grew to over 50 employees - we had a lot of fun playing with all the best toys and building an enterprise level network along the way.

After the intense pressure of the London .com environment I needed a break, and so I loaded all my belongings into a Landcruiser and travelled home across Europe and Africa for a year.

Now settled back in South Africa I operate several businesses in the IT industry and focus on building and integrating systems for my clients across Africa.
