PBC celebrates our 30th anniversary

Author: Peter Berry, Managing Director, PBC

2020…a big year for PBC!

This year marks our 30th year in business. I can still remember the humble beginnings from my home office in Fitzroy North, Melbourne. Now we have corporate offices in Sydney and Melbourne, with distributors and partners in over 20 countries. Our team of professionals are highly engaged and care passionately about our clients.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our clients, partners and global distributors for supporting us during our 30 year journey.

Today our business encompasses the use of evidence-based psychometrics. We are privileged to be the Australian distributor for Hogan Assessments, the gold standard in personality testing, for over 18 years. We are proud to be the author of the Hogan 360, which is powered by PBC, and continues to see growth in Australia and globally.

If I look back at the past 30 years, there are some very special memories:
