Independently Integrated • The Taplow Group is owned and managed by partner firms, and is registered in Luxembourg.
• Each partner maintains its own separate ownership and identity, remaining autonomous with regard to his or her own search firm.
• We remain financially and operationally independent to avoid the bureaucracy of a large entity, allowing us to operate leaner and to customize service to better address the needs of our Clients.
