“This was my first time working with an external consulting firm, and I can see why you are special. Your consultants were very talented. My experience with Burnie Group was nothing but positive, and I walked away with a stronger team, a lot more knowledge and a tighter grasp on my processes, priorities and goals.”

"Flexibility on the project timeline and the ability to deliver the required scope was key to the quality of the final deliverable. Without that flexibility, I'm not sure what we would have had for a final product. Thanks, Andrew, Ghalib and Sean! I would engage BG again to work with Andrew and his team."
