Where we are now
The company managed by its German and Austrian Directors was launched and was successful over the two years that it was based in the UK. It highlighted the differences between the way tenders are published and sourced in the UK compared to Europe and many lessons were learned. The information gathered was used to take the project in-house to be added to the already successful European business.
