Taylor’s career began at NatWest-owned Lombard, where he worked through several promotions over his seven-year tenure to become major account director; other previous roles span across auto manufacturing giants in sales, operations and marketing positions, including Honda and Volkswagen.
He spent 10 years holding a long-term role as Honda’s head of European sales and market development.
In 2013, Stuart moved into the asset finance space, working as commercial director for Corporate Asset Solutions Ltd, and has worked in consumer finance as a director for Duologi, and in EMEA financial services for Hyster-Yale Group.
His most recent appointment, however, was with QV Systems (formerly Quotevine) where he spent just over a year as vice-president of EMEA sales.
