'Excellent quality of work, great professionalism and experience. Strong knowledge of the electricity sector.'

'They have an excellent strategic view of the complexity of issues, which allows them to make realistic estimates for handling non-complex matters – unlike other firms that, for the same type of issues, quote prices well above what would reasonably be expected.'
