About Lynda King Taylor

She introduced the first combined shop steward and supervisory training programmes in the UK and was the first woman to work with the production line at the then militant Ford plant in Halewood.
Lynda also worked in ICI, Shell UK, and numerous assignments on improving motivation, staff, customer and community relations - especially when business goes pear-shape, reputation goes out of the window.

Much of her work was covered in her early books Not for Bread Alone and A Fairer Slice of the Cake – the task ahead. Secondments followed to the UK Secretary of State for Trade & Industry, international management consultants, and Volvo in Sweden.
Over the last 20 years she has worked across the globe from Caterpillar Tractor & IBM in the USA, South African Airways and other companies across Southern Africa, to many governments including Thailand, Hong Kong, Africa and South East Asia working with multi-cultural groups and disciplines. Lynda has also worked with European concerns as diverse as Finnair, Swedish State Power, Roche, Volkswagen, Exxon and many more public and private sector organisations ranging through the Metropolitan Police Force to UK Tourist Boards and Quality Scotland.

Sunday Times Business Skills - Quality: Sustaining Customer Service, Corporate Excellence in the Year 2000, Quality: Total Customer Service


LKT's reputation was further strengthened when she was invited to write the book Quality: Total Customer Service, in the prestigious Sunday Times Business Skills series. Following unparalleled success, the book was acclaimed as the authoritative source of reference in its field and Lynda was commissioned to produce the sequel Quality: Sustaining Customer Service, which quickly became another best-seller.

Lynda published Corporate Excellence In The Year 2000 and also produced its audio book. In these works some of the UK's most innovative chief executives and business leaders discuss the criteria that they regard as being critical for future success beyond the year 2000. She outlines the future strategies of major UK organisations such as Asda, Hanson, Diageo, Hilton International, Whitbread, Marks & Spencer, Granada Group, Halifax Building Society and others. In the foreword, Sir John Harvey-Jones writes "Every one of us can profit by reading Lynda's studies and learning from them. Only open minds and an ambition to be the best will enable us to survive in business beyond the year 2000".

2007-8 sees Lynda producing more books.
