We approached Worthington Clark to discuss an engagement in researching and publishing the 50 year history of Veda, now known as Equifax. They came back with a very detailed and structured approach that suited our requirements. What I was most impressed with during the project was how meticulous they were with the research, as well as the collaborative nature and flexibility throughout the process.

A well-documented corporate history can serve several purposes such as helping the company with the following objectives;
- Establishing a sense of identity by highlighting the company’s unique story and values to help build brand recognition and loyalty
- Preserving institutional knowledge to ensure that important information is not lost over time, and that new employees have access to the insights and experiences of the previous staff as employees come and go.
- By sharing the company’s story with customers and the public, businesses can use their corporate history to build brand awareness and credibility and establish themselves as trusted and reputable players in their industry.
Maintaining a corporate history can be an important aspect of preserving a company’s legacy and ensuring its long-term success. By establishing a corporate archives program, you can create a structured system for collecting and organising historical records and artefacts that relate to the company’s history from documents, photographs, audio and video recordings, and other types of media.
