David Taylor
Co. founder & Director: Global Promotional Solutions
David Taylor is the co-founder of Global Promotional Solutions Ltd and a specialist in premium promotional products and corporate gifting. With more than 16 years’ experience in the industry, he focuses on creating branded items that do more than carry a logo – they support specific marketing objectives, deepen engagement, and enhance the way a brand is experienced in the real world.
David oversees the full lifecycle of each project, from early concept and design through to global sourcing, manufacturing, quality control and delivery. He is closely involved in the details that matter – materials, finishes, packaging, usability and perceived value – to ensure every product feels aligned with the client’s brand and worthy of the context it will be used in, whether that’s a V.I.P. hospitality suite or a major public campaign.
A founder-led, hands-on approach is central to the way he works. Clients deal directly with David on key accounts, gaining senior-level input on creative direction, product selection, budgets and timeframes. That direct access and accountability has helped Global Promotional Solutions build long-term relationships and secure high-value contracts, including projects reaching into the high six figures for globally recognised brands.
Over the years David has had the privilege of working with a wide range of organisations – from global brands to specialist businesses and charities. That includes names such as Ford, Honda, Suzuki, Samsung, HP, LinkedIn, Sky, Kodak, ZEISS, Seiko, Jumeirah, Radisson, Brunel University London, King’s College London and WellChild.
Furthermore, David has developed a particularly strong track record in motorsport, supplying world-class promotional products and V.I.P. gifting to international teams, sponsors and partners.
These projects are often time-critical, high-visibility and logistically complex, demanding tight coordination between design, production and delivery across multiple countries.
By combining global product knowledge, practical manufacturing experience and a clear understanding of brand strategy, David has built a reputation as a reliable partner for organisations that need their branded merchandise to be both creatively distinctive and operationally robust.
