What our customers say...
During the project, Soben went above and beyond on a number of occasions to meet key deadlines which have required longer hours and multiple tasks to be prioritised. We would highly recommend Soben to other Clients as they offer an all-round first-class commercial service.
Soben always provide clear and timely communication, with the ability to communicate with all levels of the company including package level, senior management and external stakeholders. They also work well in a team but can be trusted to work alone with minimal supervision to progress and conclude certain tasks.
Soben are extremely competent, professional and have an exemplary work ethic. They are able to provide a full range of skills and are always diligent, adaptable and reliable when change occurs on high-value and complex projects.
Soben has been a resilient cost management consultant during the project whereby we had to deal with cost challenges due to big impacts on global level (Covid, and global supply chain disruptions).
I am incredibly happy with the service from Soben, particularly the flexibility on what has been a particularly challenging project to work on. Communication and responses to further requests for information, clarifications and additional tasks have been exceptional.
Please accept our congratulations for delivering a snag-free project. This is a first for our program and demonstrates a truly outstanding effort from the Soben team. Both projects faced considerable challenges, and we thank you for your dedication to overcoming those during the delivery. We appreciate your collaboration and open communication with our team.
This was not an easy project to work, but I’m so happy with the work produced by the Soben team.
Working with Soben  was a pleasure. Their attention to detail was spot on and they covered all areas of the job and gave me confidence that the measures were accurate when we sat down to review everything at the end. In terms of delivery, they met our ambitious targets, and they were laid out in a user-friendly manner and required very little alteration.
The overall quality and communication from the Soben were very good, and outstanding issues were resolved promptly.
Soben were responsive to project needs, they understood the task required, provided a proposal, timeline, and delivery.
