“I’ve been working with MIBA over the past two years. During this time I’ve found the MIBA team to be extremely responsive to my requests for assistance, and were resourceful and helpful. Scott and his team have shown a good understanding of our needs, and in the short time we’ve worked together have assisted us, directly and through their excellent network of connections, in finding a great supplier of complex systems and a potential consultant for one of our business units.”
