Why the name 'Meridian 151'?
Meridian 151 captures two key concepts
​
Global Experience
At Meridian 151 we focus on delivering the benefits of practical, hands-on leadership, provided by a team whose experience has been gained from working and educating themselves in the many meridians that span the globe. As a globally diverse organisation, we provide understanding from a worldly perspective.
Navigate by your true north
Each of us is continually navigating through volatility and uncertainty, towards our destination. To successfully arrive, we each need to be clear on what constitutes ‘True North’, both in business and as an individual. Meridian 151 is passionate about providing that clarity, and accompanying you on that journey.
We utilise these two concepts to guide ourselves and our clients to achieve business growth and leadership enhancement.
Meridian 151's head office is located in Sydney, 151º east of Greenwich, where the first line of longitude (meridian) originates. It inspired our businesses name.
