Stephen Taylor - Profile

It was in 1993 that Stephen Taylor noticed a bowl of mints, offered to customers as a ‘thank you’ in a restaurant. His immediate thought was how unhygienic this was but then an idea dawned on him, what if the sweets were wrapped?

Stephen bought £2,500 worth of wrapped sweets which he called the ‘Thank You’ mint and sold them to local restaurants. This initial venture was slow, but Stephen persisted, not stopping until all the mints were sold.

Stephen’s determination paid off as he began receiving requests from companies asking for tailor made products. On many occasions Stephen himself was not sure, if a product could be made, however he quickly found ways of ‘creating products’ and satisfied all demands. And so Propaganda was born.

It wasn’t until 1994 that Stephen’s fate changed when airline giant British Airways began placing orders. This change in fortune began Propaganda’s road to success. With the business growing rapidly Stephen began supplying a variety of promotional products, and quickly established Propaganda in the niche market for bespoke items.

Thirteen years on, Propaganda continues to provide its customers with the widest possible range of products and services. Specialising in promotional and marketing merchandise, Propaganda’s reputation has been built on providing excellent customer care, proven by the Investors in People accreditation and ISO 9001 certification. Propaganda also conforms to all EU standards for sweets and confectionery.
