When George, Christine and Derek decided to start their own firm, they wanted something special. They knew they wanted it to be more than a place where people work. Veritas was born out of a need for personal relationships; customised services and collaboration between employees and Veritas.
Veritas’ fourth birthday is right around the corner, on the 1st of July. With the approaching celebration, we decided to sit down with the team behind Veritas and asked them a few questions about what Veritas means to them.
