DETAILS

Matt Taylor, Company Co-Founder (now retired)

Matt started his career in the hospitality industry, working at The Abbey, The Palmer House and the Pick-Congress Hotel where he met his future wife, Nancy. When they were ready to start a family Matt transitioned from hospitality – which is notoriously inhospitable to spending time with family – and took a job with Nancy’s uncle in the office equipment industry. A few years later, in 1972, Matt and Nancy opened Taylor Business Equipment with a mission to bring family-oriented service and attention to detail to the Chicagoland business market. A tireless volunteer, Matt has been an active member of the Mt. Carmel Alumni Association for over 50 years and was named to their Hall of Fame in 1982, named their Humanitarian of the Year in 2007 and received Mt. Carmel’s highest honor – Man of the Year – at his 60th high school reunion in 2017. Matt spent over 35 years volunteering with the Maple/Morgan Park Community Food Pantry, with over 30 of those years spent as the Pantry’s President, and was entered into the City of Chicago Senior Citizens Hall of Fame for his efforts. Health issues forced Matt’s retirement from the Pantry in 2015, but that was not going to slow him down one bit. Now that he has recovered, Matt dedicates his time to Lary’s Speakeasy, a support group for those who have lost their larynx and voicebox, greatly affecting their ability to speak. During his time in the office equipment industry, Matt served in the officer roles for the local and regional affiliates of the Business Technology Association (BTA).

Testimonials

“Dealing with a Xerox machine can be a daunting experience at times, luckily the team at Taylor Business Equipment, has always been there to keep things printing! Our rep, Mary, is always extremely responsive and dependable, should we need any supplies in a pinch. Mary’s ability to keep an eye on our supplies and keep us stocked with all the right tools, is what allows us to keep up with not only our workload, but the workload of visiting clients as well. Often times, a quick email is all it takes to resolve a question, other times a quick phone call to the Xerox customer service line, which has been nothing short of incredibly helpful, with responsive customer service! I would urge anyone interested in a Xerox machine to work with Taylor Business Equipment. The extremely fast and friendly service is worth more than you’ll ever know!”

“In the 10+ years that our company has been doing business with Taylor Business Equipment I must say that they have been a tremendous asset to the success of our enterprise. It is difficult to sum up briefly all the instances where they have come through and solved each and every one of our business equipment dilemmas. The Xerox all-in-one [MFP] is a perfect example of their assisting us in choosing equipment that best suited our daily needs. Over 8 years old and this piece of equipment is still functioning as new, with only regular maintenance and parts replacement in all that time. Taylor Business and their impeccable service has also seen to it that our business has never been down or lost a single day of productivity during that time. Their reliable and dependable staff is like a security blanket; anytime you call and need them, they are there. We are one of Taylor Business Equipment’s biggest fans, both professionally and personally. We recommend them without hesitation to all of our business associates who are in need of an expert and reliable business equipment company. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be of further matter in this regard.”

“Community Alternatives Unlimited has been using Taylor Business Equipment, LLC for several years now and would not have it any other way. They are always there when you need them, from supplies, service issues, to coming out and helping with figuring out a problem. A recent example: We had ordered a new colored machine and the color was off, Mary came out to see what exactly the problem was and had Xerox replace the machine. Taylor Business Equipment, LLC takes all of the pressure off the company with just a call from us. This way we can focus on our jobs and not have to deal with all the little things. We have ten copy machines and one fax machine with Taylor Business Equipment (four units being off site at our other locations). Having Taylor Business Equipment handling our Xerox account takes a big burden off my plate at work. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.”

During this time we have received consistent, timely and quality service. Whenever a need has arisen, whether for repairs or supplies, Taylor has responded in an exemplary fashion. In addition to their responsiveness, I’ve found their prices consistently good and their attention to detail excellent. I have been particularly impressed by the accessibility of the Taylor family. Phone calls are always received and answered promptly, and when needed, personalized attention is always received even if they have to rearrange their schedules. It is without any reservations that I wholeheartedly recommend Mary and the entire family at Taylor Business Equipment. I urge you to give them your consideration.
