9. Kudos
“The quality of the product that you produced regarding the Environmental
Standard Operating Procedures (ESOP's) for the MCIWEST Environmental
Management System (EMS) project was outstanding. Each ESOP was
standardized, well researched and was easily adapted to the needs and
peculiarities of each installation. Without your work we would not have met
our requirement to have a fully compliant EMS by 31 December 2007. Thanks
again for a great job.”
