We’re proud to work alongside Proserv to better service our clients with integrated solutions and develop the local skills needed to execute projects.

Olu Phillips , Proserv country manager based in Lagos, said “Nigeria is a key growth market for Proserv and given the very dynamic opportunities in the region, we are delighted to formalise our working relationship with JDR with the signing of this new strategic alliance.
