Taylor Made Contracting was founded by Managing Director: Geoff Taylor in 2002 in response to a need for professional services in food developemnt, procurement and marketing within the Australian food industry.
Geoffs extensive career within blue chip Multi Nationals across the broad spectrum of food and packaging industries proved to be of significant value to small to medium enterprises striving to grow to the next level and beyond. Complimented by formal qualifications in Food Science and Logistics this experience provided the foundation for Taylor Made Contracting, a providor of independent consultancy services across Australia and New Zealand food industries.
Clients (both suppliers and end-users) quickly supported the concept and identified the link Taylor Made could provide between large scale customers such as restaurant groups and smaller yet capable manufacturers with available or "spare" capacity within their operations. A win-win business model was created.
Soon Taylor Made Contacting became actively involved in the formation of a "network" of domestic and non-competitve suppliers, all of whom were expert in their chosen fields. Together they combined their skills, their resouces and their facilities in order to assist each other to market their products under the Taylor Made banner. Through enduring trust and co-opeation sales grew and buying efficiences were delivered, driving costs out of their respective operations.
Taylor Made's reputation grew to become a Regional and Global sourcing specialist for quality key ingredients. Supply partners were sought for sauces, dressings, seasonings and condiments, many of which were made to customer's own recipes.
A National distribution newtork was established to warehouse and distribute supplier products and also to facilitate the next stage of an imported food ingredients programme. The same technical and quality approval systems for local supply were transferred to identified offshore partners and Taylor Made Contracting imported foods from Asia and the U.S.
Importantly, almost all of the original Taylor Made network of suppliers (and customers) remain loyal and active today
