About Us (and our logo)
2016 - Venture Companion
Humble beginnings, Paul started Venture Companion as a sole trader with the goal to improve the lives of his participants and be their companion in life. The logo was designed with the idea of companionship and inclusivity, with a nod to the autism symbol of the colorful jigsaw pieces.
2020 - The Companion Group
Four years later, The Companion Group was established as a company, the successor to Venture Companion. We chose to keep the logo, but update the name to reflect that we were now a group of companions, no longer a sole trader.
2022 - The Companion Group under new management
In August of 2022, Saskia and Matt became co-directors of The Companion Group and decided to give the logo a fresh coat of paint. The logo has been simplified into just a circle, with the colours chosen from the autism friendly colour palette. These colours were chosen by children with ASD as preferred tones for learning environments.
Future -
We maintain our goal of constant improvement at The Companion Group, so who knows what the future holds for us.
