The Business Coach & Facilitator for Northland
WARWICK TAYLOR
– leading The Alternative Board Northland
Pre-COVID19, Northland’s regional growth was running at 1.6% with 21,395 business units* – that’s a lot of business owners that need support and Warwick Taylor who runs The Alternative Board in Northland knows more than most what they need.
He’s lived in Northland all his life, understands the community and its culture and firmly believes business owners hold the key to local and regional success. A highly experienced business person, Warwick sold his award-winning company Waste Works Ltd in 2009, moving on to a variety of leadership roles with Northland businesses and organisations and he is acknowledged as a talented, innovative business leader with many awards to his name.
Warwick is determined to help Northland’s business succeed. He said: “Northland has its share of economic challenges which have been heightened thanks to COVID19 but they can be overcome. Innovation and sheer hard work are the hallmarks of Northland businesses and with the right support, advice and resources they will grow and The Alternative Board is the right place for them to find what they need”
Outside work, Warwick’s passion for sports will see you find him playing golf, fishing, watching rugby and speedway.
