Nick Taylor brought decades of business experience managing hotels around the country to lead on the renaissance of Scarborough working for the then Regional Development Agency (RDA) Yorkshire Forward. This period saw considerable success for the town with accolades such as Britain’s Most Enterprising Town in 2008, Europe’s Most Enterprising Place in 2009 and the Academy of Urbanism’s Great British Town Award in 2010 as well as the International Association of Public Participation’s Project of the Year Award in 2009.
With the closing of the RDA’s in 2010, the role moved into the local authority where his work involved inward investment, town centre and markets management and continued public consultation.
In 2017 he decided to go it alone and worked primarily at the refurbished Piece Hall in Halifax as the Commercial Lead, maximising on the yield of the space whilst effectively ‘curating’ an eclectic mix of retail and food and beverage outlets.
Since 2012 he has also worked for JTP as a frequent member of a ‘community planning team’ involved in intense, long weekends, where, working with the community, driving significant change and bringing about consensus over whatever the project may have been. This varied from a former cattle market in the centre of Liskeard to the challenges facing Wick and Thurso over the decommissioning of Dounreay nuclear power station. . © N Taylor.
