Industrial consultant Sir James Taylor was born in Sunderland, England. He received his B.A. (1923) and Ph.D. (1925) in mathematics and physics from Cambridge, as well as doctoral degrees from Utrecht (1927) and Durham (1931). In 1928 he joined the research staff of Imperial Chemical Industries, and rose to become its director (1952-1964). Taylor undertook research consulting for a number of electrical, metals, and chemical firms, and has served on government and learned bodies in the science and technology field.
