Hello.

Many thanks for visiting our site which we hope you find interesting, informative — and enjoyable.

It’s customary at this stage to launch into a tirade about why we are the greatest at what we do.

But we’ve got the rest of the website to do that.

Instead, we’ll cut to the chase and answer the one, burning question that we always get asked — even at the end of the most thoroughly rehearsed and detailed presentation.

Why are we called “Giraffe”?

It's not because we are “sticking our necks out” or have our “heads in the clouds” or because we’re “looking down at the competition”, while the fact that it rhymes with "having a laugh" is just a coincidence.

The fact is, Giraffes are non-aggressive, non-hierarchical, sociable animals, who spend a lot of time thinking — they’re just nice creatures all round.

We know this because we looked it up.

After we thought “that’s a nice name”, when a long legged former colleague staggered round the office complaining that her new shoes made her “look like a baby Giraffe learning to walk”.

“I like the web site, it's very well done, particularly liked the piccies of you all! I do like the name giraffe too, particularly the explanation as to why the company was called so, whoever thought of that hit all the right notes.” Tessa Casbon — Sharp Electronics
