The work done by Universal Consulting was exhaustive, detailed and most importantly provided insight into where and how to invest as also the required scale to be cost competitive. The team worked as an extended arm of Bunge with a quick response time, 24 x7 and an attitude of “Whatever it takes”. As Bunge we were delighted with the performance of Universal Consulting. They continue to deliver high quality with commitment and are cost effective.
