It was immediately made clear the supportive nature of the company and people! Taylor Airey is unique in that you are exposed to projects and given responsibility from the outset, allowing me the opportunity to work with highly experienced, motivated professionals. I also love that I am able to work in a sector I am passionate about.

What is it like to work at Taylor Airey?
During my first six months at Taylor Airey, I have worked with clients across rail and aviation working with many levels of varying organisations. I’ve been involved in a variety of projects, ranging from operating expenditure analysis and data collection to supporting franchise bid writing. We work closely and flexibly in partnership with clients to truly deliver a difference, which makes me feel like we are genuinely contributing to the client’s benefit.

What is your proudest moment to date?
Completing my first project has been a highlight of my time so far at Taylor Airey. Everyone’s hard work coming together combined with great client feedback made all the effort worthwhile.

Life at Taylor Airey

“I’m Dave, in my third year as a consultant at Taylor Airey”

Why Taylor Airey?
Coming from an engineering background out of University, it was important to me to be able to apply the knowledge gained within a varied workplace that would support my development across a number of skills and, ultimately, towards Chartership. It was clear from the offset that the calibre of projects Taylor Airey was involved with, along with the professionalism and collaborative nature of the team, that the environment Taylor Airey has created would support this development.

What is it like to work at Taylor Airey?
So far, I have been involved with a wide range of projects across the rail industry, working directly within client teams, as well as supporting a wider Taylor Airey team on particular projects. This has taken me to various client sites across the UK and Europe, such as rail depots and manufacturing sites, taking the knowledge gained through projects and courses and applying this to real-world applications. The expert team at Taylor Airey has massively helped in my development, both with core consultancy skills as well as with technical project topics, supported by the regular courses the team has encouraged me to attend.

What is your proudest moment to date?
A highlight of my time at Taylor Airey so far has been the recent involvement with a large UK rail project, for which our deliverables received great feedback from the client, as well as from others within the team.

What is your career aim/ why consultancy?
I want a career that constantly challenges me to develop my skills and knowledge. Working in consultancy enables this by presenting a diverse, dynamic environment with new challenges to overcome and knowledge to be gained with each evolving project. The backing of the experienced team at Taylor Airey support my goals, with mentoring and professional development a key focus of the wider team, driven by my own professional needs and aspirations.

Katie Lloyd, Consultant

Why Taylor Airey?
After meeting several members of the Taylor Airey Team during the application and interview process, I had a good understanding of the company culture and the passion the people have for the company and their assignments. The support and professional development I would receive through my mentor, Buddy, and the wider team from day one really stood out to me. Working at Taylor Airey provides opportunities to use the skills I have developed through university modules to tackle real-world problems within the rail and aviation industries which are such interesting and dynamic sectors. Taylor Airey’s work covers a varied range and scale of projects, allowing me the opportunity to expand my industry knowledge and gain exposure to a number of new and existing clients, whilst working alongside an experienced team.  

What is it like to work at Taylor Airey?
At Taylor Airey I have been given responsibility and exposure right from the start. Within my first three months I have already worked on several diverse projects within different teams. This experience ranges from rolling stock sales support for a client, involving research and analysis of different fleet types to working on a maintenance delivery strategy evaluation which required me to collate and analyse data, draft sections of a report and attend meetings at multiple client sites.  

The Taylor Airey team pride ourselves on excellent establishment of client relationships. Our attitude to each assignment makes me feel like my work is contributing towards meeting and exceeding our clients’ needs, resulting in clear benefits. The range of work opportunities I have been exposed to supports my professional development as I am able to learn so much whilst on the job, as well as gaining satisfaction through receiving positive client feedback and seeing the great results of our work! 

What is your proudest moment to date?
Writing up sections of the report for one of my first projects where I had to understand a lot of new technical knowledge was a proud moment for me. I felt a great sense of achievement when it was completed, and it was very rewarding seeing the whole project coming together, thanks to the whole team effort. 

My highlight so far at Taylor Airey has been the Team trip to Berlin in my third week of work to attend the InnoTrans exhibition for two days. This exposed me to all areas of the rail industry, ranging form exploring inside the latest developments in rolling stock models, including sitting inside the drivers’ cab, to novel and innovative seat designs! During my time in Berlin, I was able to meet some of our existing clients, network with a range of industry professionals including organising my own meetings with suppliers to conduct a market research task and get to know my new colleagues.  

What is your career aim/ why consultancy?

I wanted a career where my work makes a positive, real-world impact, as well as having the opportunity to continuously learn and improve in the sector. A career in consultancy challenges me with a variety of project work and client exposure which expands my industry knowledge and allows me to build my career. Throughout my Geography degree I developed a wide skill set including problem solving, quantitative and qualitative analysis and critical thinking, which are all transferable and useful for the role and therefore I felt well prepared to begin a career in consultancy.   

Ultimately, I would like to learn from my colleagues and eventually specialise down a certain route, which I know I will be able to do thanks to the first-hand experience and support from the rest of the Taylor Airey team.
