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:
“Flowers ... that are so pathetic in their beauty, frail as the clouds, and in their colouring as gorgeous as the heavens, had through thousands of years been the heritage of children—honoured as the jewellery of God only by them—when suddenly the voice of Christianity, counter-signing the voice of infancy, raised them to a grandeur transcending the Hebrew throne, although founded by God himself, and pronounced Solomon in all his glory not to be arrayed like one of these.”
—Thomas De Quincey (1785–1859)
“For, though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency, because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
