What our clients say
“We did consider approaching one of our firms for a secondee, however, the amount of time that they would’ve required in terms of internal supervision meant that it just would not have been an effective solution.”
“With our consultant from Obelisk, I know I’ve got someone in place who has done this type of project before and has the experience to cover work off independently.”
