Our Name
Lateral Sands is often asked the question “Why did you choose the name Lateral Sands?”
In a nutshell, the company name is a metaphor symbolic of Lateral Sand’s ability to:
…think “laterally” to come up with the tailored solutions that our clients’ most often need…
…whilst we race against the “Sands” of time that pressurize any project. “Sands” also links neatly to the silicon used in the manufacture of silicon chips. |
