“I have known Harm Oosten and his company Contego for many years both as a service provider, while I was the Global CSO at PricewaterhouseCoopers, LLP, and as a professional colleague. Both Harm and Contego have sterling reputations for integrity in all their dealings. Their knowledge of a vast number of European Union laws and regulations is extremely important, particularly for US-based companies.
Harm produces timely work in a very efficient and professional manner. With him you always know you will get an accurate product which is delivered on time and is extremely cost effective. I highly recommend him and Contego for any project in the security arena.”

My colleagues and I have always felt confident enlisting the assistance of Contego, in particular, Harm Oosten, Managing Director, to not only conduct our advance security needs, but to also provide the “hands on” assistance during the visits.
Harm has proven to be a most reliable and dependable partner whose experience and proficiency has always ensured safe and efficient transport for all of our traveling executives.”

“I have known Mr. Harm Oosten for more than 15 years, first through ASIS International and then from working closely with him in the security industry.
Mr. Oosten is one of the most credible and professional security professionals I have had the privilege to work with throughout the years. He is a man of his word, he delivers what he promises with a bonus of on-time and at/under budget delivery. He extends himself to ensure his clients are fully satisfied with the finished product and when he commits to a volunteer position, he delivers more than expected.
Mr. Oosten is a world traveler and speaks many languages. He is comfortable communicating with colleagues and clients on every level of any organization. He is personable and friendly to work with while maintaining a professional demeanor. He has the ability to motivate colleagues and demonstrates his commitment through leading by example.
He is a knowledgeable leader and a valued-added asset to any organization on a full time or contract basis.”

“Dear Harm,
This is merely a short letter to thank you for the services you and your company have provided to Novelis, Inc over the past few years. As you know, I have global security responsibilities and a very limited staff of personnel to assist me. In these very difficult economic times, I can not afford to employ a full-time security representative to cover my regional needs.
Therefore, having a well respected and trusted organization like Contego in Europe able to respond to my immediate security needs is very advantageous to my organization.
The professional services you and your company have provided to Novelis are greatly appreciated. Please feel free to use this letter as my referral of your services to any potential clientele.
I would be happy to highly recommend your services to any company with security-related needs. If I can be of any assistance to you in the future, please feel free to contact me.”
