Testimonial"CorGuv have undertaken a number of contract compliance assignments on behalf of Apache . All of these assignments have been performed efficiently & effectively and with minimal effort/input required from us as the client . Without doubt CorGuv has delivered value on each assignment. Cash recoveries alone have been substantial although that was not the primary objective in every assignment. CorGuv have also assisted us to further clarify & strengthen our contracts which has subsequently saved even greater costs in future contracts. CorGuv have a well developed process for keeping audit costs to a minimum whilst maximising benefits. In particular, they treat the whole process as a project, focusing on delivering value, including supporting us right up to the point where recovery negotiations are complete. In short CorGuv offer a compelling blend of experience and commercial knowledge that delivers a complete service and I have no hesitation in recommending their services."General Services Manager, Apache North Sea
