NBS's Client list is confidential (some Clients have
given permission however for examples of NBS's work to be shown to
prospective customers).
Occasionally, a new project may represent a potential conflict
of interests. In these situations, permission is sought from the
existing Client to declare sufficient about the nature of a completed task for
any conflict issues to be resolved.
