Kim Taylor
Director & General ManagerKim is our Director and General Manager. She is very much hands on and involved with the day-to-day operations and she is very enthusiastic and passionate about the products and services we provide.
Kim is service driven, with over 20 years’ experience in the supply and dispensing of ostomy and continence products, she understands the importance of providing a personal, professional, and efficient service and ensures we go the extra mile to meet our customers’ expectations. She also has a naughty sense of humour but don't tell her we said that!
Craig Smith
Finance and Facilities ManagerCraig is our Finance and Facilities Manager. After working in the surgical products business for 11 years Craig joined the Manfred Sauer Team a decade ago. He instantly found it inspiring hearing from customer’s regarding how our products improve their quality of life and how we as a company really make a difference. Craig is now heading up the Finance and Utilities side of the business which separates him a little from the day-to-day business, but he does like to roll up his sleeves and be hands on if needed and his focus remains the same in wanting to help people in any way he can. Craig enjoys a laugh and joke (VERY dry sense of humour) with his colleagues to brighten the day and sometimes it works 😂. Outside of work he is into fitness and enjoys running, rowing & swimming but also likes to relax and put his feet up from time to time.

She is always there to help and her built in positivity and ‘cup half full’ attitude uplifts and motivates everyone around her.
If she could, Aga would spend her free time binge watching tv series and crime movies dreaming of becoming a detective but for now she is busy with her young son and her husband. The only detective work she is doing for now is finding out who left their socks on the stairs.
