"Just a quick note on some assistance Elizabeth Berman has been giving us here with locating used gas turbines and compressors for a gas project. She was copied as a resource that could get us pointed in the right direction with purchasing previously owned equipment to lower costs, but she did a lot more than that.

She has been a big help and from what I have seen is very knowledgeable in equipment and in doing business. During the past four to five months she assisted in locating suppliers and equipment and also came up with different ideas to solve our situation. I actually have never met Elizabeth, but her dedication, follow through on commitments, and attitude to help, truly stand out. In my job projects I come across a lot of personnel that provide input/advice to the work and Elizabeth has been one to remember".

"I am writing to recommend Elizabeth Berman based on her strong technical skills, wide-ranging experience base, and high integrity.  Her responsibilities have included a wide range of power development activities in support of projects with particular emphasis on the fuel supply and transportation aspect.

She was a key member of the development team for a successful 400 MW combined cycle UK power facility.  She has utilized her expertise in the energy industry to provide a wide range of services to other US and European based developers.  Her experience working successfully in the deregulated energy market in the UK was of particular value to companies entering that market.  Elizabeth is a skilled, results oriented individual and has successfully completed a number of major transactions in the North American and European energy markets.

She has an excellent understanding of the energy industry and the entire power plant development process.  This includes fuel supply issues, planning and permitting, contract commercial issues, and project feasibility requirements.  Her systematic negotiating style has led to many successful project developments.  I consider Elizabeth to possess the highest level of integrity and honesty with the ability to represent or service a client with a positive and straightforward approach".

"I have found her at all times to be fair, reliable, honest and a pleasure to work with.  Through her straightforward approach and innate sense of reasonableness, she has been successful in balancing what could have been the conflicting needs of a gas purchaser with those of the gas seller, and in this process she has generated and retained our goodwill.

I have no doubt that with her constructive and friendly manner she has been more effective in her negotiations than would ever have been the case if a more aggressive and confrontational approach had been adopted.  She was able to adapt herself quickly to the peculiarities of the UK gas industry – an environment that would have differed from her previous experience.

She rapidly demonstrated her ability to familiarize herself with the local gas supply and transportation situation and was able to establish a competitive gas supply position for the project.  Technically she has demonstrated a sound understanding of the contractual formalities of a gas sales agreement.  I have no hesitation in recommending Elizabeth Berman as a valuable member of the team".
