MAX COMMUNICATIONS BREAKS INTO AMERICA
6 AUGUST 2024
David Cordery, a recently appointed Liveryman, has just expanded his digitisation and archiving services company into the US. A subsidiary of Max Communications Ltd (Max), named Max Archive Services Inc., has been registered, secured office space, and initiated hiring, starting with the appointment of an Operations Manager in Nevada to service the West Coast. This subsidiary has already undertaken several projects in the US, primarily commissioned by existing UK-based clients.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, Max Communications now employs over 100 staff members. Over the years, the company has established itself as the leading provider of digitisation and archiving services to the heritage sector, helping clients preserve and open up access to their collections. In 2021, Max expanded into the life sciences sector and is currently cataloguing and digitising over 8.5 million herbarium plant specimens for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. This is a remarkable project to be involved with, as making this unique collection, the largest in the world, accessible is crucial for addressing the challenges of biodiversity and combating climate change.
In 2016, Max Communications was honoured to receive the Royal Warrant for its exceptional services. This prestigious recognition underscores the company’s commitment to excellence. With the expansion into the US, Max is excited to bring its expertise to North American blue-chip organisations and universities. The company aims to offer the same level of outstanding service to its new clients as it does for those in the UK, further solidifying its position as a global leader in digitisation and archiving services.
