Maju is one of the hardest working people I have come across in my working career. He is also exceptionally knowledgeable on Airports and in particular the ORAT process essential in setting up a new Airport terminal or facility. He is very determined and follows through on all actions to closure. Very reliable, honest and diligent. I would re-employ Maju again at a moments notice.
