I have been using Colin Bibra for about a decade now and have been happy with them. One asset that Colin Bibra has is Simon Bhatti. He is totally professional, efficient and trustworthy. He is straight forward and works very hard. He has always been responsive and always replies to emails and calls. In my experience he has never missed one. And he achieves good results.
