Super Bowl Trivia: Who is Raymond James?
The derivation of the name on this year's Super Bowl stadium is unveiled by the company that put it there.
St. Petersburg, Fla. (Vocus/PRWEB ) January 29, 2009 -- As thousands of Super Bowl fans pour into Tampa's Raymond James Stadium, the eponymous financial services firm answers the question, just who is Raymond James?
No, Raymond James isn't a football player or coach, not a former mayor of Tampa, nor a men's clothing line, and not even the founder of the firm that carries the name. It comes from a merging of companies run by Robert A. James and Edward Raymond in the 1960s.
Today, Raymond James, which has been led since 1970 by Robert's son, CEO Tom James, has grown into one of the nation's largest independent financial services firms, with 2,200 locations worldwide. The firm is widely recognized for both its conservative management and developing customized solutions for clients, from individuals and small business owners to municipalities and major corporations. In 2008, Raymond James was ranked #1 in investor satisfaction and #1 in employee advisor satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates. To learn more visit raymondjames.com.
