Paul Taylor

Paul has always run his own businesses since leaving college in 1978. He has been involved as a founder of Filstorage from inception in 1993 taking over full control after buying out his partner in 1999.

Having built Filstorage up from scratch to employing over 20 employees Paul has had to understand every facet and department involved in running a company. He loves the business environment and likes nothing better than talking to other business people about the opportunities and challenges involved.

Filstorage specialises in supplying storage and display equipment to Builders Merchants and allied trades. Like many businesses linked to the construction industry the company has been severely affected by the recession. Paul has had to apply a completely different set of management skills to managing a company through a recession as opposed to the growth years of the nineties and early 21st century.

From starting life as an importer of wire baskets and plastic bins, Filstorage have developed into a major player in the storage, racking and shopfitting business, with nationwide coverage and a range of thousands of products. Whilst the company are happy to supply a few plastic bins they are also capable of £100k plus turnkey operations complete with their in house CAD design service

Paul is looking to lead Filstorage into new markets and particularly wishes to work with developing local businesses.
