“Euram Air Leases Ireland Ltd contracted with Antaris Consulting to carry out a scope of work and we are very happy with the results. The consultant met with management to discuss our requirements and explained in great detail what would be required of Euram to attain AEO status displaying a very knowledgeable and efficient demeanour. The necessary information was gathered and most of the work was completed off site and any queries we had were dealt with in a timely manner. When onsite work was necessary there was very little disruption to the regular workflow and all duties were performed in friendly and professional manner. The consultant was on-site when the AEO audit was carried out to answer any questions that arose. All in all it was a very positive experience.”
