Melligeri further added: "High-end technology organisations such as MAG have clearly seen value in partnering with QuEST".

"Our focus on pure-play engineering enables us to be a value adding partner to several of our strategic customers and we plan to replicate this model of engagement that MAG has chosen with several others of our strategic customers".
