I have had the privilege to work closely with Consort over the past 4 years in Baku, Azerbaijan. From the initial brief / scope of works being discussed with their on-site sales manager, to the provision of schedule of materials and competitive quotations, all within a reactive time frame, I have found the service from Consort, second to none. Furthermore, their management style and delivery can only be described as excellent and the after sales service only reinforces the commitment and willingness to go the extra mile to ensure that the customer is their direct focus. Products, availability and delivery are all part of the we can do attitude that is evidently proven, from ALL levels within the Consort Group. It is not often that I recommend/ praise companies for completed works, but in all the years that I have worked with Consort, I would have no hesitation in recommending them for future projects here in Azerbaijan, or anywhere else in the world.
