About Us
Origin of our Name
The name Mercury has many uses - a Roman God; an astrological sign and a planet.
Mercury was the Roman God of Business, Trading and Commerce. His name is the source for the word merchant. But he was also god of travellers and roads, of luck, and of music and eloquence. And he was the messenger of the Gods.
Mercury's influence has long been attributed by astrologers with the gaining of knowledge, and the ability to think and speak. Mercury stands for ideas, methods and information. It represents excellence in teaching, learning, logic and reasoning, and above all, communication.
We believe the combination of these two streams captures the spirit of what we are striving to achieve.
Our logo is a stylised representation of the astrological sign for Mercury.
