| “Harrison McCord Virtual is one of those rare companies which combines professionalism, attention to detail, a commitment to meeting deadlines, a dedication to excellence, and complete confidentiality. This convergence of top-level skills & workplace ethics makes it a pleasure to work with them. As an Adviser and Researcher working across defence and security architecture, complete confidentiality is critical to the process. Harrison McCord Virtual has proved itself effective in maintaining that level of confidentiality whilst delivering to deadlines with consummate professionalism. In my experience, this level of expertise, with such a broad canvas of complementary business skills as part of the package is a rare commodity. As well, having engaged Harrison McCord Virtual for both professional defence work, and also on a private project, their flexibility to deliver demonstrates a level of adaptive capability which is seldom normative across the industry. In short, Tina Harrison and Kathleen McCord are first-rate professionals.”
