‘The team from WBD working on our project has a unique blend of experience where they have people who have physically worked in the energy industry. This gives a real valuable perspective when dealing with items on our project.’
‘Richard Cockburn has handled the collaboration agreement aspect of the project for us, linking how the members of the consortia will act. He took a small brief and drafted an agreement which covered all aspects together with items we had not considered and put us in a strong position.’
