The Reason Behind the Name
Why Golden Apple?
In many ancient myths, stories, and fairytales, apples have played a significant and often symbolic role. For example, in Greek mythology, the apple symbolized love. In Norse mythology, the apple represented youth. In Jewish culture, the apple is a symbol of goodness and positivity. In many countries, including Sweden, Denmark, and the United States, the apple is a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and education. The color gold represents success, which can only be achieved if our clients are happy. Thus, the name Golden Apple symbolizes what we represent as a company.
