The partnership had responsibility for many water supply and sewerage schemes in different parts of Britain and abroad. In 1882 John Taylor's partnership with Mr. Simpson ended and Taylor continued to act as Consulting Engineer for various Water Companies. In the same year John Taylor took his 2 sons, Edward Brough Taylor and (presumably Gotfred Midgley Taylor), into partnership. In 1891, on his father’s death, Edward Brough Taylor became senior partner, a position which he held for 50 years. William Santo Crimp joined the firm as a partner in 1894 which became John Taylor Sons and Santo Crimp. By 1914 the company was again known as John Taylor and Sons
