“At all times I have been impressed by the hard work, dedication and professionalism of BluePlate staff. They have not provided me with the aloof consultancy methods that I am used to, but have joined in, working alongside MOD staff….. They have truly added value during their contract period, and have never failed to transfer knowledge on project closure.”
