"Pragma worked with us on a very challenging project in the German apparel sector. We chose them for their specialist sector knowledge and international experience. In very demanding circumstances, Pragma's team really went the extra mile to deliver an insightful assessment of the business, its strategy and management, and supported us throughout in making the right decisions, both for AIB and the company, concerning the businesses future."

Samantha Cunningham, Head of Corporate Portfolio Team, AIB Bank
