Resolutions
Change of Company Name
Resolution 1 – Change of Company Name
The Company proposes to change its name from “LandMark White Limited” to “Acumentis Group Limited”.
Background
Over the past two years LandMark White has grown through the acquisitions of MVS National (May 2017) and Taylor Byrne (October 2018).
Only months into the second acquisition, the Company was subject to the first of two data incidents prohibiting the full integration of the two businesses and impacting the LandMark White brand.
This led to the opportunity to develop a new, strong and unified identity that would;
-
unite the team under one shared identity;
-
simplify business structure and systems;
-
advance the Company’s client relations; and
-
rebuild shareholder value.
New Brand
The brand name Acumentis has been derived from two Latin words – acumen (a keen insight and sharpness in business) and mentis (mastery of mind, intellect, reason and courage).
Acumentis was selected as a name that expresses our values and qualities as suggested by those that know our business best – our staff. Our rebrand was undertaken with insight from our 40 metropolitan and regional offices, and more than 300 property professionals.
Acumentis is a positive word that reflects what our team and clients say about our service – it’s not just the data we provide that makes the difference. It’s the professionalism and integrity of our people, combined with insights and knowledge, that make us unique.
Acumentis reflects the expanded range of services offered through the merging of the three businesses and the combined experience of over 100 years in the provision of property valuation and advisory services.
Acumentis helps us prepare for the future success of the business.
