Meet the team

The brains behind the business

Michael Taylor

Founder

Giving SMEs the structure, strategy, and support to grow

I cut my teeth as a management accountant for various small businesses across hospitality, recruitment, and other service sectors. That hands-on experience eventually led to a couple of C-suite roles in a global aviation group of companies. Over the years, I’ve developed a specialism in building cohesive operational ecosystems; plug-and-play setups that give businesses everything they need to scale, while allowing founders and owners to stay focused on delivering a great product.

What I do at Ysobelle Edwards
I work closely with founders and owners to help them step back, see the bigger picture, and focus on where they’re trying to go. My role is to make sure they have the operational and managerial support from Ysobelle Edwards that they need to get there without getting pulled into the detail.

Why I get up in the morning

  • I genuinely enjoy working with small businesses and helping them push forward on their journey

  • I’m lucky to have a wonderful wife and two teenagers (Lou, Ted and Grace)

  • I run ultramarathons when time and knees allow

  • I’ve spent most of my life waiting for Tottenham Hotspur to dominate Europe, and I expect that wait to continue

Marketing Manager

Helping SME’S grow with their marketing

I studied Marketing at the University of Chichester and have worked in the industry for over 7 years. My background is in full-stack marketing, covering everything from content creation and brand identity to SEO, social strategy, and campaign delivery. I’ve worked across a range of sectors, including recruitment marketing, sustainable travel marketing, and life sciences marketing.

What do I do at Ysobelle Edwards?

I manage our own company marketing alongside helping SMEs with theirs too. From the initial discovery call to building out a marketing plan, and then managing it all day-to-day, you’ll be working with me. Whether it's getting clear on messaging, choosing the right channels, or keeping everything on track, I’m here to make sure your marketing makes sense and gets results.

From Strategy to Stanley…

  • Big animal lover (especially our Border Collie, Stanley)

  • Recently returned from travelling Southeast Asia, where I volunteered at dog charities along the way.

  • I ran the Edinburgh Marathon last year.

  • Strong believer that wine and fish & chips is the ultimate combination.

What they say

    Ben Hubbard, Hubs Solution

  • “The team really helped me get down in writing where it is that my company needs to go next. I’ll continue to call upon Ysobelle Edwards as I scale up my business.”
