Ann: Neptune secures multiple works on Gorgon , page-37

As usual mookie you have missed the point of my little story.

The old world (pre GFC) was rife with nods and winks, everybody in management knew someone who took inducements and they would be lying if they said they never.

Although i don't say that world has gone, today's world is different.

Larger services companies operating for big multinationals have been put under the microscope by their prospective employers since the GFC and the waste has been identified.

Post GFC therefore is under more stringent controls when it comes to the letting of contracts.

Although the same bigger service companies will always get their share (albeit under tighter reign) new companies with high levels of integrity..ie. NMS, will start to make inroads into this scope of work.

NMS with their diverse scope of services means that instead of dealing with several different contractors to get the contract done, which muddy the waters, now they only have to deal with one.

People ask, how did we get the Qatar job?

I think this might be due to the Arabs being sick of getting ripped off, so we will try some one different.

Glasses will still be chinked mookie but the echo will not be as loud.
