Duncan Taylor, the current current governor of the Cayman Islands, will assume his appointment as the new British Ambassador to Mexico in September.
He replaces Judith Macgregor, who will shortly be reassigned to another diplomatic position.
Taylor joined the British foreign service in 1982 and has worked on a wide range of issues, including leading the Japan section and as head of the Consular Service. He has served as British High Commissioner to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean and has also had postings in Havana, Budapest and New York. Before joining the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Taylor worked with Gulf Oil for two years. He has also spent a year on secondment with Rolls Royce, as director of Latin American Affairs.
Macgregor has served as ambassador for four years at a time when the UK-Mexico relationship has blossomed on many levels, most significantly in the areas of commerce and culture.
