Welshpool firm appoints new Group Operations Director

Zip-Clip has appointed Holly Taylor as Group Operations Director - a role that recognises her exceptional dedication, leadership, and impact over almost 15 years with the company.

Holly’s journey with Zip-Clip began on January 31, 2011, when she joined as a French-Speaking Office Administrator.

On her very first day, she dived straight into product training, signalling the start of what would become a career marked by adaptability, determination, and a commitment to excellence.

“After spending my post-university years in retail, I was looking for a career with long-term growth,” she said.

“A job advert for Zip-Clip caught my attention and after researching the company, I felt a real connection with its values and direction. I wanted a place where I could grow, develop, and build something meaningful.”

From her early involvement in setting up Zip-Clip’s French entity from the ground up, Holly’s talents quickly became apparent.

She went on to hold a variety of roles, including PA to the CEO, Export Sales and Marketing, and European Support Manager, before stepping into General Manager and now Group Operations Director.

Reflecting on her progression, Holly notes that while sales gave her valuable global experience, it was operations where she truly thrived - leading strategic projects such as establishing Zip-Clip’s Customs Warehouse and Inward Processing Facility.

“It came with its fair share of challenges, but it was incredibly rewarding. It was a complex, high-impact initiative, and I’m proud to have played a central role in making it happen.”

Founded in Welshpool, Zip-Clip has grown from a local business into a global leader in high-specification wire suspension systems, with operations spanning the UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, China, and beyond.
