The Story Behind Our Name

The name The Galatea Group came from the myth of Pygmalion and Galatea. Pygmalion was a sculptor who created a likeness of a woman he felt was so ideal, he fell in love with her. Because his love was so true and she had been so idealized, the gods brought Galatea to life. The idea behind the Galatea Group was to bring together a group of folks who put their passion, creativity and heart into things to give them life. While we offer a variety of services, everything we undertake is done with the idea that the ideal is worth striving for – and with hard work, it can be attained. Our tagline for the company became “bringing the ideal to life”.

There was a painting done about this myth  by Jean-Leon Gerome which hangs in a prominent place in our offices to serve as a reminder of what can be achieved.
