London, 11 November 2014 – Experian has been named by Forbes magazine as one of the ‘World’s Most Innovative Companies’. The global information services company is the only company of its kind to be included in Forbes’ exclusive innovation league for 2014.
Brian Cassin, CEO, Experian, said: “Science and innovation are part of Experian’s DNA and it is a tremendous achievement to be recognised by Forbes as one of the world’s most innovative companies.
