Heritage and Origin
Illuminas' heritage stretches back over 20 years. In the UK, the company developed from the merger of two research agencies: Hauck Research with a heritage in qualitative brand development and innovation, and DVL Smith Ltd with a heritage in quantitative research and business strategy. In the US, Momentum Research Group of Austin Texas became part of Illuminas in 2004 and the New York office opened in 2005. Illuminas APAC started with the opening of the Hong Kong office in 2005, followed shortly after by Shanghai.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or origin:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“The real, then, is that which, sooner or later, information and reasoning would finally result in, and which is therefore independent of the vagaries of me and you. Thus, the very origin of the conception of reality shows that this conception essentially involves the notion of a COMMUNITY, without definite limits, and capable of a definite increase of knowledge.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
