Taylor Maxwell & Co Ltd was founded by Mr E. Maxwell and Mr. R. Taylor in 1959 and commenced operations merchanting bricks and timber from offices in Bristol.

The first branch outside of Bristol was opened in 1964, situated in Liverpool and now TM has 18 locations nationwide. Although still remaining within the group, in 1977 the brick and timber operations were separated and Taylor Maxwell Timber Ltd was formed.

Each office offers a specialist service to the construction façade and timber sectors. Growth has been achieved both organically and by acquisition, adding many more companies, including the Timber Marketing Corporation in 1978 and Vobster cast Stone Company (Manufacturers of Cast Stone) in 2002.

The Taylor Maxwell Group Head Office has always been located in Bristol and although the turnover now exceeds £130m the Group still has the clearly defined culture of a well run “family” business.
