Our History

It began with image...

Professional presentations changed in 1981 when Sam Cole, partner of the accounting firm of Billups, Arnn & Co., in Oklahoma City, endorsed the idea of founding a company dedicated to creating high-image presentations.

The timing was right.  This prominent firm, founded in the 1940's, had just learned that two major clients were switching to larger firms to "enhance their financial image."

A few weeks later, Sam Cole emerged from a meeting of the partners and handed Bill Lockhart a large order for custom presentation covers.  He also noted a problem with the binding technique of the prototype sample.  This problem became the "mother of invention."  It led to the development of a totally new concept of binding with concealed staples - and the design of The Lockhart Platinum Presentation Collection™

Protected by U.S. patents, The Lockhart Platinum Presentation Collection™ eliminates the need for special binding machines, exposed plastic binding strips and front cover windows for titling.  The System also features a convertible-type cover that can be used six ways to impressively package all types of accounting and professional presentations.

Since our firm was founded, we have proudly served thousands of accounting firms - including the majority of the national firms - as well as other professional firms.  Insurance and investment counselors, attorneys, physicians and other professionals use Lockhart's presentation system to bind their formal presentations.
