Our history

Cordis Bright was founded in 1998. We were established by Tom Noon who continues to work for us as Principal Consultant and Chief Executive.

People often ask the derivation of the name Cordis Bright. It originates from the Latin noun cor meaning 'of the heart'. We hoped that coupled with 'bright' it would capture the company's unique blend of integrity, intelligence and intuition.
