We’ve had online, e-mail, and also one face to face meeting. We had one offer withdrawn and eventually a second offer came through. It’s been smooth, professional, personable and friendly. 👍

      George has done an excellent job for us. He has the key qualities required for this workو the most important one being chasing down any blokcages along they way. It is obvious that George is on top of his workstack as ke responds promptly to all communications. I would give further work to George anytime and would have no hesitation in recommening him to people around me.
