I’ve had the pleasure of working with Cameron as a valued client since 2013. From day one, our supplier relationship quickly evolved into a true partnership, a testament to how Cameron works.
Cameron excels at building constructive working environments, a quality that would be invaluable in any business advisory role. He consistently articulates his points effectively, always maintaining a positive and solution-oriented manner.
What truly stands out is Cameron’s unwavering commitment to compliance and ethical trading. He’s relentless in ensuring every matter is thoroughly resolved. I’ve personally sought his advice on complex issues and, even when I was hesitant to ask, he provided clear, concise, and actionable insights. Working with Cameron is always a productive and straightforward experience.

I’ve known Cameron for 15 years, initially as a client and since then as a trusted professional contact. I’ve seen firsthand the drive, integrity and sharp business sense that defines him.
I was able to follow on the journey as Cameron built his business from the ground up. He took the company to over £50m of revenue before selling on to a larger multinational business and making his exit. The growth was achieved whilst going through the backdrop of volatile markets affecting customers and pricing before negotiating the pandemic. This doesn’t happen by accident; it’s a credit to his strategic thinking, leadership and ability to build strong teams and lasting key client relationships. He’s someone you can trust to deliver, whether leading a business or advising others. He’s down to earth and very open to everyone he works with, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him.

I am pleased to provide this reference for Cameron Taylor, with whom I co-founded Advance Global Recruitment. Over more than a decade, I had the privilege of working alongside Cameron as we built AGR from a startup into a leading specialist recruitment company serving the global energy sector, achieving revenues in excess of £50 million.
From the outset, Cameron brought an entrepreneurial drive, strategic vision, and relentless focus on growth. His ability to identify opportunities in both established and emerging energy markets was instrumental in shaping our international expansion. Whether opening new territories, developing client relationships, or steering major commercial initiatives, Cameron consistently delivered results.
A natural leader with strong commercial acumen, he was particularly effective in driving new business sales and forging strategic partnerships. He played a critical role in shaping our growth strategies — from talent acquisition to operational scaling — and in building a high-performing, client-focused culture across our global offices.
Cameron has a deep understanding of the energy sector and a proven ability to operate at both executive and board levels. He would bring real value to any organisation seeking a Non-Executive Director with hands-on experience in entrepreneurship, scaling businesses, international operations, and business development.
I fully endorse Cameron and am confident he will bring insight, integrity, and impact to any board he joins.

I’ve known Cameron since March 2016. Our initial meeting in Edinburgh, facilitated by a mutual acquaintance, was with a view to my potential involvement as an advisor or Non-Executive Director at Advance Global Recruitment. I immediately recognised a strong connection with both Cameron and his business partner, which quickly led to my becoming a shareholder and a member of the board at AGR shortly thereafter. I’m pleased to say that our relationship has flourished beyond the professional sphere, and Cameron and I enjoy an excellent personal rapport.
One of Cameron’s key strengths lies in his remarkable ability to dissect what could be perceived as complex business problems or challenging situations and provide simple, practical, and straightforward solutions. This clarity of thought, coupled with his pragmatic approach, has consistently impressed me. Furthermore, Cameron distinguishes himself as a highly empathetic and compassionate business leader. He demonstrates a genuine understanding of people and excels particularly well when collaborating with both his peers and his wider team, fostering a positive and productive working environment.
Cameron was an integral and driving force in building Advance Global Recruitment from its very inception, navigating the various stages of growth and development right through to the point of selling a majority stake in the business in March 2023. His commitment extended beyond the sale, as he played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and efficient transition of leadership and operations to the new controlling shareholders between March 2023 and his eventual exit from the business in February 2025. His dedication throughout this period was invaluable.
Cameron is very much a “people person” at his core, possessing a natural ability to connect with individuals from diverse backgrounds. This, combined with his flexible and adaptable leadership style, is clearly reflected in his capacity to be both comfortable and highly effective in the strategic environment of the boardroom, as well as being deeply engaged and productive when working within the day-to-day operational hub of a business. He can seamlessly transition between these different levels of engagement.
In all my dealings and interactions with Cameron over the years, he has consistently operated in a transparent, open, and direct manner. This straightforward approach has not only fostered trust and mutual understanding but has also made it a genuine pleasure to collaborate with him on various business matters.
