- 'The team has extensive experience in offshore wind projects and is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I am also grateful for the pragmatic approach to all questions raised and for the very short turnaround time.'
- 'I have been working with Christian Knütel for many years. He is very knowledgeable about offshore wind projects and is very approachable and hands-on. He is also very open and direct about the client's strengths and weaknesses and doesn't feel the need to sugarcoat things (even if they aren't that positive for the client). This is very much appreciated.'
