| Home / About Us |
We're frequently told by clients that we're really nice people... easy to get along with... a joy to work with. This is exactly what we hoped for when Blueberry was first formed in 1997. Our staff have been with us a long time, some from the very beginning, and we enjoy working in partnership with our clients.
Here is a short list of the key personnel at Blueberry:
