‘We have worked with Paul Palik for over 20 years and he has a strong understanding of our business and the challenging industry we operate in. One key benefit of working with Paul for this duration is that he has supported us at each stage of our evolution as a business and helped us to adapt our contracts to protect our business and support our valued customers. He is second to none when it comes to knowing the details in relation to the various work completed over the years. I’m not sure how he retains so much knowledge but it is exceptional. We trust Paul implicitly and simply cannot recommend him highly enough and it goes without saying that we hope our relationship continues for at least another 20 years!’
