Our People - Support Team
The support team are full-time office based staff and shareholders who are involved in the development of the business and share company values. They support the needs of all consultants and are often the first point of contact for clients.
Jane Beattie - Secretary
Since April 2006 I have held the role of secretary, and PA to the full-time consultants. I work in the front office with our office manager Anne, and I am the first point of contact for visitors and callers. My previous roles were training administrator in the construction industry and project administrator in the voluntary arts sector. Prior to that I held various positions in administration, reception, switchboard and customer service. Out of hours I help run a weekly community film club for young people based in the South Side of Glasgow.

Janice Gould - Finance Director
I joined Taylor Clarke in August 1990 as a part-time book keeper, and became a Director of the company in 2000. I take care of all financial aspects of the business. In April 2004 I moved to beautiful Cornwall with my husband, where I work from home with the help of my two cats and dog. Once a month I travel to our Head Office in Glasgow to participate in our business development meetings and catch up with the rest of the team.
