About the Jason Farradane Award sponsor
Kompass Publishers is one of the world's leading providers of business information. It supplies data on international markets and some 1.8 million companies in 75 countries via its directories, CDs and web site http://www.kompass.co.uk.
Kompass was launched in the UK in 1962, but its roots go back nearly 60 years. The original concept was dreamed-up shortly after the Second World War by a Swiss businesswoman called Irma Neuenschwander. She recognised the need for up-to-date information on products and services in order to rebuild the devastated European economies.
Since 1944, Kompass has grown from a single directory into a global information giant, used by thousands of buyers, marketeers and business people to find suppliers, research markets and launch new products.
