For more than 70 years, Georgeson has been communicating important information and eliciting response from shareholders.  Innovation and speed - in products and problem solving - have defined our history.

Georgeson initially began as two companies: Georgeson & Company Inc. founded in 1935 by Lloyd Georgeson, and Shareholder Communications Corporation founded in 1969 by Alexander Miller.

Both companies offered proxy solicitation services (Georgeson & Co. being the first in the world) and engaged in aggressive programmes of expansion and innovation. In 1999, Shareholder Communications Corporation acquired Georgeson & Co., forming Georgeson Shareholder Communications Inc.

In 2000, Georgeson founded its first European office in London, bringing us closer to our European clients, and addressing the flow of international capital into the equities market. Since then, Georgeson has become the only proxy solicitor with a large, multi-location presence in Europe.

Georgeson has pioneered proxy solicitation, PostMerger CleanUp™ programmes and the contemporary approach to small shareholder campaigns. We were the first to use the telephone as a strategic tool to reach large numbers of shareholders.

Georgeson brings together the best of the shareholder-servicing world - the talent, the knowledge, the techniques and the technology - all in one place. We're an organisation of industry experts who join together to meet a company's unique goals, whatever their size or challenges.
