Since its inception 30 years ago, Taylor Made Designs has been based in the South Coast of England, now the company is streamlining their supply to Europe with a hub in Amsterdam in order to continue building upon their relationships with European clients.

“Let’s face it, Brexit, and coming out of the European Union, has not been good for UK-based businesses wanting to export into Europe” – Ed Taylor of Taylor Made Designs

Taylor Made Designs provide uniforms, workwear, and merchandise to a significant customer base in the superyacht, hospitality and leisure industries, as well as expanding into the Cruise Line Industry in recent years.

Speaking of the companies decision to set up a TradeHub in Europe, Ed Taylor, Managing Director states:

“Delivering into Europe, via our TradeHub in Amsterdam, Netherlands, will remove any unwanted stresses and paperwork for our valuable clients. As though we were physically based in mainland Europe, having EU VAT status, this move allows us to deliver directly to our clients, DDP (Delivered Duties Paid). A simple, smooth transition through Europe. Of course, we will also continue to deliver under T1 status where necessary.”

Mr Taylor continues:

“We recognise that most of our client base is here in the UK, however, especially since the pandemic, a lot of our international clients have called for us to set up a more streamlined European distribution process to facilitate multiple European requirements.  We have our eye on other TradeHub facilities across the EU including France, Germany, Spain and Italy.”

It has been important for Taylor Made Designs to make this move in order to build on existing relationships and develop future partnerships with clients and operators.
