SKIPTON INFORMATION GROUP REBRANDS AS CALLCREDIT INFORMATION GROUP

24 June 2008

Skipton Information Group is rebranding to Callcredit Information Group following its recent acquisitions.

The move comes in a bid to more closely align the businesses within the Group; Callcredit, EuroDirect, GMAP, Broadsystem, Legatio and Decision Metrics and refresh the Group’s proposition to reflect its unique experience and capability. Ultimately, the rebrand will further reinforce the Group’s ability to compete in the marketing services arena and reflect its success in the credit referencing and financial services industry.

Callcredit Information Group continues to be a subsidiary of Skipton Building Society.

Mike Green, CEO of Callcredit Information Group said:

“Rebranding to The Callcredit Information Group underlines the value and strength of the Group that has been formed. The businesses are highly successful in their own right and will continue to be so, but also work well together, and this allows us to align our image and reinforce our depth and breadth supported by having the security and backing of the Society.”
