KU Children's Services[edit]

Offhand I don't think that this would qualify for the list since it's a non-profit educational organization and the list specifically states "excluding associations and educational, governmental, or religious organisations". It's possible that this meant schools in specific, however the organization's page states that it is "the leading not for profit provider of preschools and child care centres in Australia. It'd also be good to have a secondary source for this other than the organization's website.

Other than that, the name is only slightly in question since it was originally called "The Kindergarten Union", which looks to have been abbreviated into KU for the current title, KU Children's Services. I'm unsure if this is what is intended by the sentence " To be listed, a brand or company name must remain, either in whole or in part, since inception", but it seems OK on this end.

I'm somewhat leaning towards it not being able to be included given that the page specifically excludes education organizations. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 08:44, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AGL founded in 1837 - should be on the list[edit]

AGL was founded in 1837 - it should be added high up this list. https://www.agl.com.au/about-agl/who-we-are/our-company/our-history Ws2812 (talk) 14:01, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
