Taylor is a former adviser to Welsh Labour politicians and ran as the party’s candidate to become North Wales police and crime commissioner.
As first reported by The Herald, external, Reid’s consultancy company, Reid Strategy Limited, has received more than £23,000 in interest-free loans from two of Taylor’s businesses.
According to accounts filed for 2022-23, Reid Strategy had received £1,363 from Moblake Limited and £22,030 from Earthcott Ltd, with no set repayment terms. Taylor was the sole director of both companies.
Reid Strategy was wound up last year after Reid was elected to Parliament. She had been paid almost £380,000 by the company since 2024.
Moblake – a construction company – was wound up in 2024 having paid Taylor £605,872, again in the form of an interest-free loan with no repayment terms.
Earthcott – a PR, communications and consultancy firm – has paid Taylor more than £300,000 in dividends, as well as a £30,000 interest-free loan, since being set up in 2021.
